This tragic incident took place in September 2012. The hired killer (who was sentenced to 100 years in prison) shot the rapper's mother in her own bed.
According to reporters, Yolanda Holmes owned a beauty salon, and devoted all her leisure time to her only son and volunteer activities. But, the 23-year-old rapper wanted to become famous for account of his family. “What did the defendant dream about? Mother provided him with work, helped with money, bought a car. He was an ordinary spoiled child, so he impinged upon the person who gave him life!” said the judge, who sentenced the musician to 99 years in prison.
Young QC knew his mother had savings and retirement annuity. The prosecutor office informed that Yolanda Holmes's insurance policy was supposed to bring her son $90 thousand. This was the murder’s motive.
45-year old Holmes was known in the community. The woman was helping school and young mothers in difficult life situation; she was a member of various district committees.
