In Tangipahoa Parish, Public Information Officer Dawn Panepinto said 23 YO Javoris Scott of Bogalusa, was arrested and booked into the Tangipahoa Parish Jail in Amite in connection to a murder that occurred just over a year ago at a trail ride in Roseland.
He has since bonded out.
Scott is a rapper who recently had a distribution deal with Atlantic Records and has 2.5 million followers on Instagram. He was charged with accessory to second-degree murder and obstruction of justice.
Scott is better known in the music world and online as JayDaYoungan, a rapper, singer, and recording artist.
Law enforcement provided few additional details on the role they believe Scott played in a fight in August of 2020 that claimed the life of one victim and injured two more. Authorities say the altercation was the result of rival gang activity in the area.
