@FJBANDHISFOLLOWERS False. The killer was his childhood friend and the other was his god son. The childhood friend told JMJ cousins to not go to the studio because something bad was going to happen. If a killer warns your family not to go to YOUR studio while asking them for bullets. And they don’t warn you about someone’s plan to kill you? That’s a family betrayal. The family should have told JMJ that someone’s planning to kill him.
