The man who killed rapper 21 Savage’s brother last year in London has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Tyrece Fuller, 22, did not appear at the sentencing hearing but was sentenced to 10 years on a manslaughter charge and three years for weapons possession that will run concurrently. He was initially facing a murder charge in addition to manslaughter, but he was cleared on the murder charge.
“This is yet another tragic example of the curse of knife crime in London,” Justice John Cavanagh said during sentencing. “A young man’s life has needlessly been cut short by the willingness of young men to pick up a knife or blade and to use it when there are far easier and far safer and better ways of resolving the situation.”
Fuller approached Terrell Davis-Emmons, 27, while he was walking with his grandmother on November 22, 2020. The two got into a fight, and Fuller stabbed Davis-Emmons with a six-inch blade in the chest. The aspiring rapper was pronounced dead at the scene.
After the murder, 21 Savage posted a heartfelt tribute to his brother on Instagram. “Can’t believe somebody took you baby bro I know I took my anger out on you I wish I could take that shit back,” he wrote alongside a photo of him and his brother.
