"Drunk af going 120 difting corners #F**kItYOLO," tweeted the 21-year-old McKiness just before he and his friends died in a car accident on Sept. 2 in Ontario, Calif., reports the San Bernardino Sun.
McKinness was accompanied in the car by Marquell Bogan, 23, and Dylan George, 20, Jonathan Watson, 21, and JaJuan Bennett, 23. Bogan died at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Fontana, Calif. The others were pronounced dead at the scene.
While McKiness' tweet makes it sound as if he was behind the wheel, police said it was Watson who was driving, reports the paper. According to police, the driver lost control of the 2005 Nissan Sentra after running a red light and slammed into a wall.
The police are still investigating the incident, but officers told the paper that there was a high likelihood alcohol was involved, based on the statements made before the crash.
The police were referring to the final tweet by @ink2flashyy, sent out at 1:20 a.m.
It read "Driving tweeting sipping the cup (expletive) yolo I'm turning it up."
Why is the word "Rapper" in the headline? Why can it not read "Man tweets ..? Everyone who reports this fatality is sending subliminal messages about rappers. Stop the madness. He was a man, a son, maybe a father etc. Why not concentrate on that... besides the stupidity of driving fast while intoxicated.
ReplyDeleteYou mean other than the fact that he was a rapper and more than likely would like to go out with that title? If he played hoops, I would have referred to him as an NBA baller, if he was on a reality show I would have referred to him as a Reality show star.
DeleteIf he had been a Police Officer, I would have referred to him as a polo officer in the headline.
Take what you want to take from it. But the story is written.
Having no common sense, drunk, trying 2 be cool and speeding is a deadly combination. Not 2 be insensitive but thank god they only hurt themselves and not some innocent bystanders.
