The grandparents of Alabama rapper HoneyKomb Brazy died in a house fire that police are now investigating as a possible homicide.
According to Fox 19, Tony and Leila Lewis died on Wednesday in their Mobile, Alabama home on Dr. Thomas Avenue. Complex Media reports that firefighters responded to the fire after it had started. Around the time of the fire, witnesses say they also heard gunshots. Authorities found the couple dead in the home once the blaze was controlled and extinguished.
“All I heard was a boom. It sounded like a bunch of shots,” a witness said in a video obtained by WKRG News 5. “Lord have mercy. Don’t tell me they were up in there because Lord, I heard the children coming across the field crying.” The couple’s family members said the husband and wife were fatally shot before the fire started.
Officials on the case said they are “working with our counterparts to create a timeline of events prior to as well as after the initial incident,” according to Complex Media.
In an Instagram post, HonkeyKomb Brazy mourned his grandparents’ loss and said he offered to move them out of the home. “Long live grandma n grandpa y’all was my heart fr I put y’all in every song I hate y’all got caught up In my Shìt smh this Shìt hurt,” HoneyKomb wrote. “I beg y’all to let me move y’all everyday but y’all Taught me how to be stand up guy y’all always told me If it’s our time it’s our time god got us that’s how ik y’all in heaven y’all baby boy got y’all fasho granny granny.
