St. Louis rapper Woozy The Goat has been linked to the murders of his grandparents, Donald and Kathy McRoberts. They were found dead in their home. According to reports, Woozy walked into a psych ward covered in blood earlier this week. Furthermore, he is currently being held under police watch.
Details of the murders have not yet been disclosed. However, local law enforcement was reportedly looking for the suspect on Tuesday night before he surrendered himself to the mental hospital. St. Louis has a small social media following and appears to have dropped some songs on SoundCloud.
In the time leading up to his grandparents’ deaths, he posted disturbing messages on Facebook. He basically declared himself as God and asked who wanted to die that day.
The case highlights the need for greater attention to mental health issues in the criminal justice system. This is particularly important for individuals who may pose a risk to themselves or others. The rapper’s current status in the psych ward will likely be a factor in his case as it proceeds through the legal system.
