A tragic incident unfolded in Memphis on July 4, as the music industry mourns the loss of a promising rising star. The shooting that took place on Goldbrier Lane in northeast Memphis claimed the life of an up-and-coming rapper, whose real name was Robert Tunstall but was more widely known by his stage name, Casino Jizzle. The heart-wrenching news was confirmed by his manager, Angie Strange.
As of now, the Memphis Police have not yet officially released the identity of the victim involved in this unfortunate incident. However, on Wednesday, they took a significant step forward in the investigation by issuing a warrant for 27-year-old Michael Clayton, charging him with First Degree Murder in connection with the Goldbrier homicide.
Casino Jizzle’s tragic demise comes at a time when he was on the brink of unleashing his talent and creativity to the world. Just days away from his highly anticipated album release, titled “Duh,” the young artist had been working tirelessly to perfect his craft. Despite not being signed to a record label, his dedication and musical prowess had garnered attention and support from fans, evident through his active presence on Facebook.
Sadly, this devastating incident is not the first time Casino Jizzle has faced the horrors of gun violence. Back in 2019, he was critically injured in a shooting incident outside a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in Cordova, leaving a lasting impact on both his personal and professional journey.
The loss of Casino Jizzle is a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the senseless acts of violence that continue to plague our society. His music and potential will forever be a part of the unfinished symphony of artistry, and his memory will live on in the hearts of those who appreciated his talent and envisioned a bright future for him.
May his soul find eternal peace, and may this tragedy serve as a call for a world where aspiring artists like Casino Jizzle can thrive and share their gifts without fear or harm.
