Rapper Remy Ma’s son arrested for 2021 murder in New York – 102.3 KRMG

Jayson Scott, son of rapper Remy Ma, was arrested Tuesday for the June 2021 murder of a man in Queens, New York, according to ABC News.

Scott, 23, has been charged with first-degree murder for allegedly shooting 47-year-old Darius Guillebeaux after an argument on June 7, 2021, according to the New York Police Department.

According to the NYPD, Guillebeaux was found with numerous gunshot wounds to the head and chest.

According to People, Scott was also charged with first-degree murder, two counts of illegal possession of a weapon and first-degree reckless endangerment.

Guillebeaux was indicted by the New York Attorney General in 2020 as part of a large-scale drug operation. The investigation, dubbed “Operation Heat Wave,” led to the arrest of 54 people accused of trafficking heroin, fentanyl and oxycodone.

Richard Swygert, 22, has also been charged with the same murder. Swygert is only charged with murder.

Remy Ma, whose real name is Reminisce Kioni Mackie, has been nominated for four Grammys and won two BET Awards for Best Female Hip Hop Artist in 2005 and 2017.

In 2008, she was convicted of assault and illegal possession of a firearm in connection with a shooting at a Manhattan deli in July 2007. She spent about six years in prison.
