A music video shoot in Seat Pleasant, Maryland, ended in tragedy on the evening of April 1, 2015. Keaway Lafonz Ivy, 21, known as Kealo and noted for low-budget YouTube videos, was in a parking lot on Eastern Avenue with about 20 people when a gun reportedly being used as a prop was discharged at about 10:30 p.m. Ivy was struck by a single bullet, found by Seat Pleasant officers with a gunshot wound, and pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators identified 21-year-old Lafonzo Leonard Iracks as the person who fired the weapon. He was arrested in Northeast Washington, D.C., two days later and charged in connection with Ivy’s death. In January 2016 Iracks pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and to using a firearm during the commission of a felony; court testimony stated the shooting was accidental. Ivy’s mother asked for leniency during sentencing.
