Summary
- Up-and-coming rapper Luci4 was discovered deceased at age 23.
- An airport incident preceded his final hours, family alleges.
- Family suspects foul play due to missing wallet and cash.
Up-and-coming rapper Luci4, identified as James Dear IV and known for his viral hit "BodyPartz," was discovered deceased in an Los Angeles residence on Sunday, February 22nd. He was only 23 years old at the time of his death, with the cause currently listed as 'deferred' by the L.A. medical examiner.
Hours prior to his passing, Luci4 was reportedly running late for a 10:52 PM flight to Miami for a concert. A pre-boarding issue at LAX led to his detention by airport police, who contacted his grandmother expressing concerns about his mental welfare and potential influence of substances.
Despite being released approximately 20 minutes later, Luci4 never arrived at his grandmother's home as planned. His family is now investigating the events that transpired at the airport and in the hours leading up to his death. They suspect foul play, citing that his wallet was found empty of cash and ID at the residence.
Luci4's family has established a GoFundMe to honor his memory and help cover costs. They describe him as someone who touched many lives with his creativity and kindness, leaving an immeasurable impact.
