""It's devastating for the community because we were all rooting for him, and he finally got his shot, and now he was taken away," said Davis' friend Anthony Mabry. "He is 43, and people were doubting him, people saying, 'Pass the mic! But he stayed with it. And he was finally getting that taste - and it's like, 'You took it from him.'""
"NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny described Hightower as appearing 'very disheveled, like he's been out on the street since the incident,' following his arrest."
Jamel Davis, known as Sinthoro, was shot by his 16-year-old stepson Tristan Hightower after a dispute escalated over marijuana use in their home. The argument began when Hightower's pregnant mother texted him about her concerns regarding smoking in the apartment. Following a verbal confrontation, Hightower retrieved a gun and shot Davis twice. Davis was taken to the hospital but later died. His music career was gaining momentum, with his song 'Slide' receiving attention from local stations and social media.
