Ice-T's grandson, Elyjah Marrow, was arrested for manslaughter in Georgia after a gun accidentally went off and killed his roommate, Daryus Johnson. Marrow, who has appeared on E! reality show "Ice Loves Coco," allegedly stole the gun and was playing with it when it went off.
Johnson was unconscious by the time police arrived, and was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Police state he was "recklessly" handling the gun, and is also facing charges for marijuana possession and having a stolen firearm.
"Marrow was not using proper firearms safety when handling the gun," Marietta police officer David Baldwin said. "That reckless handling of the firearm is what led to Johnson being accidentally shot and eventually killed."
His father, who goes by Twitter handle @papapreacley, addressed the matter on social media.
"I can't live without my son!! please tell me this is all a joke," he tweeted.
"I take all the blame!!! Don't judge me son... I raised him so blame me!!!"
Ice-T has yet to address the incident, though we can imagine he's not too happy. The rapper has spoke openly in the past about how rapping saved him from a life of crime.
"What happened with me was, everybody that I was rolling with started to go to jail," he told The Guardian.
"One of my friends was in the middle of a bank robbery and his friend got killed by the police. What happens is that eventually those small crimes aren't going to sustain the lifestyle you live."
"When you're young you sell a little weed here and there, you try to get some rims OK," he continued. "Now, you move up to Benzs and Ferraris. You can't sell joints, you gotta sell pounds. The more the crime escalates the more violence escalates."
Ice-T also plays Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola on "Law And Order: Special Victims Unit," and is the executive producer of "Life After Prison."
