However, his mother, Beverly Samuels-Burch, also declined to release details about what happened. She said she learned of her son’s death from social media.

“That was a terrible thing for social media to put that out. I didn’t even know. I hadn’t even been notified,” she said in a phone call on Friday. “All I’m doing is requesting that people pray for us.”

As people are receiving the news, many social media users are reacting to his death online. Black women are however busy celebrating his death on Twitter.
