Julian Kilgore, 23, a music producer from Apple Valley who performed as JB Yung Majick, was shot and killed in his home during a residential robbery on August 6, 2015. His friend and roommate, Richard Fenton, was also shot in the attack but survived. Kilgore’s young daughter, Makayla, was in the house during the shooting.
Two men, Arieon Shoulders and Richard Nedd, were later arrested and convicted of murder, attempted murder, and robbery and received prison terms of 38 years to life. A third man believed to be the shooter, Rayvon Tarpley, died in an accidental shooting in September 2015. The case experienced multiple delays and complications in the courts, including motions for a new trial, the death of the presiding judge, changes in defense counsel, and legal arguments related to Senate Bill 1437 and the felony murder rule.
Julian’s mother, Mari Kilgore, and sister, Krystin Kilgore, have spoken about the family’s grief and efforts to keep his memory alive. Does anyone have additional information about the night of the robbery or knew Julian and can share memories?
