Ashkan Mehryari, a lawyer who represented Lil Loaded, called the death “very tragic.”
“He had a very bright and promising music career ahead of him,” he said.
Lil Loaded was arrested last November following a video shoot where he allegedly shot and killed his 18-year-old friend, Khalia Walker. In February, he was indicted on a lesser charge of manslaughter after a Dallas County grand jury determined he “recklessly” caused Walker’s death and was due in court for a hearing on Tuesday (June 1).
Days after he was released from police custody, he released his CRIPTAPE mixtape featuring Pooh Shiesty on “Link Up,” Hotboii and BigKayBeezy.
