“Marrow was not using proper firearms safety when handling the gun,” Marietta police officer David Baldwin told the Marietta Daily Journal. “That reckless handling of the firearm is what led to Johnson being accidentally shot and eventually killed.”
The 19-year-old is the son of Ice-T’s first daughter LeTesha, who was born when the rapper himself was a teen. Marrow has appeared with his grandfather Ice-T on Ice Loves Coco, a show that follows the rapper/actor and his life with new wife Coco Austin.
Back when Marrow was only 16, the proud grandpa had nothing but praises for his grandson. On the show, he said, “Elyjah is getting bigger every time I see him. He’s doing good.”
“He’s going great, he’s playing football, getting good grades in school,” LeTesha added.
