Juvenile's Daughter Murdered, Teen Brother Held Accountable
Rapper has lost his biological daughter, Jelani, in a homicide done by the little girl's 17-year-old brother. According to The Atlanta Journal Constitution, the 4-year-old girl had been shot and killed alongwith her mother, Joy Deleston, and 11-year-old sister, Micaiah, by Anthony Tyrone Terrell Jr. at their Gwinnett County home on Thursday (28.02.08) night.

On Friday (29.02.08), Terrell Jr. was arrested by the Georgia authorities and has been charged with three counts of murder and three counts of aggravated assault. At the moment, the sophomore at Central Gwinnett High School is being held in the DeKalb County Jail. In the meantime, the police are still investigating the motive behind the homicide.

The fact that Jelani is Juvenile's daughter has been exposed back in 2003 after the 32-year-old rapper was arrested for abandonment of a dependent child. The "Slow Motion" hitmaker was proved to be the little girl's father following a DNA test determining that he is indeed the biological father of the 4-year-old. There are still no comment coming from the rapper about his daughter tragic death.
