Miami, FL – May 17, 2025 – A well-known Miami man has tragically lost his life just hours after posting a chilling death threat he received via text message, sources report. The incident, which has sent shockwaves through the local community, underscores the dangers of online threats and the volatile environment surrounding some public figures in the city’s urban scene.
The man, whose identity has not yet been officially released by authorities, was a familiar figure in Miami, potentially a rapper or influencer within the city’s hip-hop culture, according to social media reports. On Saturday, May 17, 2025, he shared a screenshot of a text message on social media that read,
“You gone d*e on my soul ,”
accompanied by a black heart and 100% emoji. Alongside the screenshot, he captioned the post with a seemingly lighthearted comment:
“I should take this serious or let it blow over lol,”
indicating he may not have initially perceived the threat as credible.
However, tragedy struck mere hours later when the man was reportedly killed. Details surrounding the exact time, location, and cause of his death remain scarce as of 11:45 PM +06 (7:15 PM EST) on May 17, 2025. The news first broke through a post on X by RapHouseTV (@raphousetv2), a media outlet known for covering urban and street culture. Their post included a photo of the man, dressed in a green jacket with a “P” emblem, a black beanie, and a chain necklace, making a hand gesture that could be interpreted as a peace sign or a gang-related signal. The image also featured annotations, including one that read,
“lol now he fr changed,”
suggesting his death, and another echoing his uncertainty about the threat’s seriousness.
The circumstances leading to the man’s death are currently under investigation, with no official statement yet from the Miami Police Department or other authorities.
