American rapper, Lil Durk’s 10-year-old son allegedly shot his stepdad, Joshua Pippens, during a domestic dispute with the youngster’s mother.
The stepfather, Joshua Pippens, shared a video on IG on July 1 of a domestic altercation that eventually led to him allegedly getting shot by the child.
“As y’all can see I was not the aggressor,” he wrote in the caption alongside the video, “and y’all also can see how I still had my gun on my hip he grabbed my gun off my hip following his moms lead and tried to shoot me and then actually shot me I advise y’all see it before they take it down #buildawareness.”
In a later post, Pippens shared a photo of an official document detailing a visit by the boy — identified as Jerome Harris Jr., and reported to be Lil Durk’s son by multiple online outlets — was questioned by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Office “as part of the assessment investigation.”
According to the document, the boy told authorities that he witnessed his mother, identified throughout the report as Ms. Collier, and Pippens arguing outside of the man’s home. At one point, the child stepped out of the car and pushed his stepdad.
The boy eventually admits to picking up a gun which Pippens dropped during the argument and shooting him to protect his mother.
Just last month, Lil Durk gave fans a glimpse into his family life, revealing how happy he was to have spent Father’s Day with all seven of his kids; Angelo Banks, Willow Banks, Bella Banks, Zayden Banks, Du’mier Banks, and Skyler Banks.
Meanwhile, as at the time of this report, American rapper Durk Derrick Banks, best known as Lil Durk is yet to comment on the incident.
