Messy Mya was best known for being a comedian and YouTube sensation. The 22-year-old was shot and killed on Sunday in New Orleans, shortly after attending his pregnant girlfriend's baby shower.
According to Contact Music, Messy Mya became one of the most popular names on YouTube since he began posting his humorous videos there. The talent was likely well on his way to some form of stardom.
Messy Mya was shot in the street in New Orleans around 8PM on Sunday evening. People stood around taking pictures with their cell phones and then tweeting those photos to their Twitter followers.
What on earth is wrong with people? When someone lays dying they can think of nothing better to do than to take pictures of the person suffering, and then they share those photos with others? What is our society becoming? If one can't help in a hands-on way during such a horrific situation, one can pray. One can at the very least be respectful and not take photos as someone is taking their last breaths.
Fortunately some people have had the good graces to request that Twitter remove the images of Messy Mya as he lay dying in the streets of New Orleans. One would certainly hope that Twitter will honor the requests of those who realize this is in extremely poor taste.
While the motive for Messy Mya's murder isn't known, the case is presently under investigation. Fans have flood Messy Mya's Facebook page with notes of sympathy.
