The 17-year-old aspiring rapper died from an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head while filming an Instagram Live on May 15, according to authorities. Although officials have not confirmed his identity, social media has identified him as Rilo Huncho, also known as Raleigh Freeman III. The video shows Rilo singing to the camera and dancing with a gun equipped with a green laser sight.
In a gut-wrenching moment, Railo appeared to disable the gun’s safety and point it at his own head, resulting in an unexpected shot that struck him. The camera fell as the teenager was thrown out of sight, indicating the severity of the incident.
The day after the tragedy, a GoFundMe page was created to support Rilo Huncho’s grieving mother. During the fundraising, it turned out that the incident took place in their house, where Rylo Huncho lived with his single mother. Describing the deep loss, the rapper’s cousin emphasized: “He was her only son! She was a single parent, but she took care of her son as best she could.”
The circumstances of Railo’s death have sparked debate about the responsibilities of social media platforms and their impact on young users. It also highlights the dangers associated with firearms, especially among youth who may seek to emulate the gangster image. Previous fatal incidents captured on live video serve as a sobering reminder of the risks involved.
In the United States, the minimum age to purchase a gun is 18 for rifles and shotguns and 21 for handguns, with additional regulations governing automatic weapons and destructive devices. However, authorities have not disclosed how or where the 17-year-old acquired the weapon involved in this tragic incident.
