Following the shooting death of a 34-year-old Atlanta rapper, a heated debate regarding women and domestic violence trended on Twitter. 

On Tuesday, Twitter user @JROD813 posted, “This whole Trouble situation is unfortunate, but ladies…please don’t have a man sleeping in your bed one week after you break up with your abusive boyfriend…who also lived at the apartment.”

The tweet accompanied an alleged photo of the Rockdale County deputy’s report taken at the scene where Trouble, born Mariel Semonte Orr, was allegedly shot and killed by the abusive ex-boyfriend of a female companion he was visiting in Conyers, Georgia, on June 5. 

 

The tweet sparked the debate and outrage from primarily women who denounced the abusive suspect’s behavior. 

 

Other Twitter users failed to see that the onus of safety doesn’t fall on the victims. They thought the tweet served as a valid warning for women.

 

One guy was promptly corrected when he miswrote facts, but he opted to double down on foolishness anyway.

“[It’s] not her fault he shot and killed trouble but damn, the man still had keys to the place. It was literally his place of residence, and she got another man [in] there sleep. Wth”

 

Another Twitter user clarified the facts in the case. 

 

Early Sunday morning, Trouble reportedly was shot in the chest after 33-year-old Jamichael Jones, 33, allegedly forced his way into a Lake St. James Apartment, according to Rockdale County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Jedidia Canty. Jamichael had been involved with the female resident for three years, but the two had broken up a week before the rapper visited the woman. She told police that the suspect lived with her before she kicked him out after he assaulted her during an argument regarding his unemployment and lack of responsibility in the home. 

The female victim also told Rockdale County deputies that she called the police but didn’t file charges because Jamichael left the scene at the time. 

Shortly after 3 a.m., the suspect kicked in the door and attacked the woman as she slept. Deputies noted that she had “visible injuries on her face consistent with being struck.” A fight ensued between Jamichael and Trouble, who had been in bed sleeping with the female victim, and the 33-year-old abusive ex brandished a firearm, firing a single shot at the rapper, hitting him. He died at the scene. 

On the evening of June 4, Trouble posted an ominous video on Instagram that was seemingly a premonition of what was to come. 

“Jus’ some late night game fa yo Brain! An’ it go Both ways. Lemme kno if I’m wrong or right 😒〽️〽️🅱️,” he captioned the post.

In the video, he said, “I’m a give you some street wisdom. A real ni**a don’t give no f**k ’bout yo’ past, right. Nothin’ bout what happened before me. But the reason why a lot of y’all don’t get taken serious ’cause y’all be consistently f**kin’ two, three of dem ni**as like we don’t be knowin’.”

 

The rapper’s label, Def Jam, posted a tribute to the fallen emcee, also known as Skoob, on Sunday.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the children, loved ones, and fans of Trouble. A true voice for his city and an inspiration to the community he proudly represented. RIP Skoob🙏🏾”

 

Jamichael turned himself into the Rockdale Sheriff’s office on Tuesday. The suspect was charged with home invasion, felony murder and aggravated assault. A Rockdale County magistrate denied him bond.
