Questions and Speculations

A report from Biz Pac Review raises questions about the circumstances surrounding Rylo Huncho’s death: “The brief viral clip raised questions about the fate of the rapper and at least one social media account suggested, ‘according to his family, he went to the hospital and died from injuries. his friend posted the video [because] people were saying the friend shot him. his family was also saying he was depressed but since he is gone, we will never know if it was a major accident or purposely done.’”
