The son of KRS-One, Randy Hubbard Parker, was found dead in his Atlanta apartment of an apparent suicide. He was 23 years old.

The son of the hip-hop icon and his wife, Simone G. Parker, suffered from “severe depression” according to his mother. The cause of death was reported as a gunshot wound to the head.

A private memorial for the young designer will be held July 18, with a memorial service in his hometown of New York to follow. Sadly, the 18th would have been his 24th birthday.

According to a statement, “KRS-One and Simone Parker send their sincere appreciation to everyone who has already responded to the tragic news.”
