Music keeping Ricky Trooper going as he mourns daughter’s murder in US
Veteran dancehall sound system selector Ricky Trooper is thanking his fans for their support as he comes to terms with the murder of his 23-year-old daughter, Brianna Destiny McKoy, in the United States.
"Mi baby innocent star," said Trooper in a tear-jerking Instagram live video on Friday (part of which is carried below), hours after his daughter was reportedly killed by a man who is said to have been her boyfriend.
Brianna, popularly known as 'Bri Bri', was found with gunshot wounds at about 11:20 am on Thursday at a condominium complex on 333 Vincellette Street in Bridgeport, Connecticut, United States.
Trooper, whose real name is Garfield Mckoy, thanked all his fans for the "respect", "love" and "condolences" that he and his family have been receiving since the tragedy, but indicated that he could not respond to all the calls he has been receiving.
He took to his Instagram page to let those he could not respond to know that he was not being disrespectful by not responding to them.
"Mi know unuh a show the love and so, but people, unuh have to understand, it hot, and mi a go through a trying time zeen," said the teary-eyed sound system selector.
"Mi use to hear dem tings yah happen to people, and mi a say... 'A wonder why dem tings deh happen', and mi wish say mi wouldn't find myself inna dah position yah, but such is life," he shared.
According to a report in the Connecticut Post, officers who responded to the crime scene confirmed that Brianna was fatally shot, and medics confirmed that she was dead.
