Rapper KRS-One's Son Commits Suicide
Parker was found dead in his Atlanta, Georgia apartment. The Fulton County Medical Examiner's office said Parker died on Friday from a gunshot wound to the head, and they listed the cause of death as a suicide. Parker was 23 years young.
Parker, born in Queens, New York, was a fashion graphic designer. KRS-One was much like a real father to the victim according to friends close to the family. KRS-One and mother Simone G. Parker have worked together as a married couple for many years. Randy Hubbard Parker has even produced songs for the KRS's albums and managed the old-school rapper.
A personal memorial will be held on July 18th, which would have been Parker's 24th birthday.

Yo chris im sorry to heard that man keep your head up man
Very sad. And he was so young. It is very sad for a parent to lose a child, especially to a sudden death
Very sad news.
Tragic. Although I understand depression (wish I didn't!), I feel for the family. Survivors have it rough.
That is really sad to hear. I can not imagine what KRS is going through.
