Geez was shot and killed on Sunday night on the 1200 block of N. Taney Street. Police have yet to identify a suspect in the case.

“Rip phat geez…..Philly is a terrible place for black people to live… you see too much death!!!! Smh,” Meek wrote.

Listen to the words. Just listen to the words of when you know you’re gonna go to jail if you carry a gun and the reality of how easy it is to lose your whole life for no reason to murder!"
