A 19-year-old in Indiana is accused of rapping on YouTube and posting on social media about murdering a man after doing just that — saying morbid things like “head shot” and “I gotta finish the beef they started,” according to police.
Cameron Kizer Jr., who is already in prison for battery over an unrelated incident, was charged Monday with murder in connection with the July 2024 shooting death of 20-year-old Jathen Maxwell, according to online court records and the Fort Wayne Police Department. The incident was reported by a relative of the victim at around midnight on July 25 in the 3900 block of Warsaw Street in Fort Wayne, with Maxwell being shot in the head and hip, per cops.
