Rapper Remy Ma’s son is being held for a murder in NYC

The NYPD announced on Wednesday that rapper Remy Ma’s 23-year-old son has been charged in connection with the Queens shooting death of a man in 2021.

Three years after Darius Guillebeaux, 43, was shot and killed in a senseless act during broad daylight, Jayson Scott and another guy, 22-year-old Richard Swygert, were apprehended on first-degree murder charges on Tuesday night.

When the incident started on June 7, 2021, near the intersection of 148th Street and Rockaway Boulevard in Springfield Gardens, the victim was shot in the head and chest.

According to police sources, investigators are currently looking into the murder’s motive.

Police had stated at the time of the shooting that they thought there might have been a fight before the carnage.

Guillebeaux was one of the scores of people indicted by New York Attorney General Letitia James as part of a massive drug trafficking investigation known as “Operation Heat Wave” only eight months before he was shot and killed.

54 suspects were accused of smuggling cocaine, fentanyl, and heroin into Jefferson County, upstate New York, as part of that operation.

Before Guillebeaux was killed, it was unclear whether Scott or Swygert had any previous relationship with him.

According to police, both males were charged with reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon in addition to the murder charge.

Reminisce Smith, Scott’s mother, is a Grammy-nominated musician who began her career in the 1990s with Fat Joe’s band Terror Squad.

The 44-year-old Bronx native, who has a history of violent charges, was sentenced to six years in jail in 2007 for shooting a companion outside a Manhattan bar, almost killing her.

Because of a different gun case, Scott has been detained since May 9. According to officials, he was charged with criminal possession of a weapon and was placed under $500,000 bond.

Next week, he is anticipated to be charged with murder in Queens court.
