Lor Scoota's manager, Trayvon "Truz" Lee, was killed in Northwest Baltimore Wednesday night, according to The Baltimore Sun. Lee was the CEO of YBS Records and a relative to popular dirt bike rider Chino Braxton. He was 24 years old.

According to police, Lee was shot multiple times in his upper body in what is being dubbed a deliberate attack outside a home where he reportedly lived. Police have not named suspects the shooting.

"The city I did so much for an put it all behind had betrayed me bro," Braxton wrote on Instagram. "They took you [a] person who means so much to me my brother." In the post, Braxton also recognizes that he will take care of Lee's son like his own. 19-year-old Braxton was actually shot two times in the head in Baltimore just this past February. Miracuously, Braxton survived.

Braxton also addressed everything on Twitter in a series of tweets where he called out the city of Baltimore and the urgent need for everyone to do things better. "They tell us to keep it real but kill us!" he admits flatly before bringing the whole thing home with a chilling note that his little sister was there to witness him getting shot in the head.

The tragic loss comes less than two weeks after 23-year-old Lor Scoota, a rising Baltimore rapper, was shot and killed in broad daylight Saturday in Northeast Baltimore. Hours before his death, Scoota hosted charity basketball game called "Touch the People Pray for Peace in These Streets." Meek Mill, The Game, and Yo Gotti all jumped on social media to mourn the senseless loss and pray for Scoot's family.

Braxton's message is clear. The devastating loss of life that is happening far too often needs to stop.
