Seventeen-year-old rapper Javien Channel 5 Jdub was found fatally shot in the front yard of a Southeast Dallas home about 6:30 A.M. on February 24, 2020, and was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot wound to the head. Reports link the killing to a feud within the local rap community, and video of the aftermath circulated on social media.

Police named no suspects or made no immediate arrests; investigators continued to gather evidence from friends and witnesses and sought security footage from Jdub’s home as they pursued possible motives. The case remains an open homicide investigation.

Anyone who knew Javien, saw activity in that neighborhood early that morning, or has information about rivalries that could be relevant is asked to come forward.
