In a tragic turn of events, the two men who were found dead in the Bronx earlier this week have been identified as the brother and cousin of popular social media personality BigKev.
The bodies of the two men were discovered in a parked car in the early hours of Monday morning, sparking a large-scale investigation by the NYPD. Police initially withheld the identities of the victims, but it has now been confirmed that they were 27-year-old Tyrone Williams, who was BigKev’s younger brother, and 29-year-old Darnell Jenkins, his cousin.
BigKev, whose real name is Kevin Williams, took to social media to express his grief and shock at the news. “I can’t believe this has happened,” he wrote in a post on Instagram. “My heart is broken. These were my brothers, my family. I don’t know how I’m going to get through this.”
Police have yet to release any information on possible suspects or motives for the double homicide. However, sources close to the investigation have indicated that the incident may have been gang-related.
The Williams family is well-known in the Bronx community, with BigKev having built a large following on social media through his videos and posts showcasing the local area. The news of the double homicide has sent shockwaves through the community, with many expressing their condolences and support for the family.
The NYPD is urging anyone with information on the incident to come forward and assist with the ongoing investigation. “We are committed to bringing those responsible for this heinous crime to justice,” said a spokesperson for the department.
As the investigation continues, the community is left to mourn the loss of two young men, taken too soon in a senseless act of violence.
