Well-known Philadelphia rapper Gillie Da Kid has claimed that his son, Devin Spady (YNG Cheese), was killed by 17-year-old Noah Scurry. Scurry was a basketball star who was himself killed in a separate shooting.
Scurry was also a top-performing student and athlete and had obtained the highest SAT placement score in his school. His murder devastated the school community.
Police have stated that a white Jeep Cherokee was linked to the shooting. There were two gunmen, while a third accomplice was probably acting as the driver. Scurry was also a victim in an earlier shooting in May 2023, in which a 60-year-old man was killed. However, the police had not revealed any motive or suspect details related to the recent murder.
According to sources, Scurry was shot 17 times on January 14, 2025, while walking with his mother in Philadelphia. The attack happened around 7 a.m. in an alley behind Rohrer Street, with at least 20 gunshots fired.
Police had already linked him to Spady’s killing but he was killed before they could arrest him.

Gillie Da Kid further revealed that the police were proceeding to arrest Scurry and charge him with his son’s murder, but Scurry’s death prevented them from going ahead and concluding the investigation.
Gillie Da Kid added,
“The kid had just got shot 17 times—he was walking with his mom and got murdered. Then the police notified me and let me know that he was one of the kids that was pretty much about to get locked up for the murder, but he got murdered first.”
Gillie Da Kid also termed Scurry’s killing as divine justice and said that Scurry would have to face the Almighty, and that is how Gillie looked at it.
Gillie also stated that his son was not the intended target and that he just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
However, officials have not publicly confirmed Scurry’s involvement in Spady’s killing and stated that the investigation into both murders is ongoing.
