Rapper YNT Juan was found shot dead inside a parked car in Hartford, Connecticut on Sunday night.
The 17-year-old rapper, whose real name was Juan Bautista Garcia, had launched his rap career fairly recently as his oldest music video was released a year ago. The late rapper had over 25,000 Instagram followers and nearly 4,000 YouTube subscribers. Also, Juan had just released his most recent music video last week
"He was only 17 years old," said a childhood friend. "He never went live on his Instagram to talk about drama, he only went on there to support his friends or promote his music. [He] didn't even get to graduate school yet."
Details of Juan's death are currently under investigation by Hartford Police. His death is the city's 25th homicide this year -- equaling 2020's total and two more than 2019's total homicides.
