The family of Tyriece Watson, a local rapper known as “Lor Scoota,” met outside of the former Royal Theater in West Baltimore Wednesday morning to speak out about his death.
Watson’s family and friends gathered with community leaders at Pennsylvania Avenue & West Lafayette Avenue to discuss plans to honor his “life and legacy of unity and peace,” the family said in release.
The family asked for prayers and said they hope he'll be remembered for more than just his music.
