Rae Sremmurd's stepfather -- who helped raised them since they were young -- is dead after a shooting in Mississippi, and police have their brother in custody.
Tupelo PD says officers were dispatched Monday night to a home where they found a man who'd died on the scene from at least a couple gunshot wounds. According to our law enforcement sources ... Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi's younger half-brother, Michael Sullivan, is being held for psychiatric evaluation.
At this point, they're calling the 19-year-old a person of interest in the shooting.
The Lee County Medical Examiner tells TMZ the victim is 62-year-old Floyd Sullivan. He's Swae and Slim's stepdad. He's raised them ever since the boys were in middle school, and moved to Mississippi with their mother, Bernadette. Floyd also has a son, Floyd Jr., from a previous relationship.
Police say no one else is being sought in connection with the killing.
It's unclear how much Slim or Swae know about what went down. We've reached out to a rep for the duo, but so far ... no word back.
Graphic details of the murder of a man named Kevin Bacon have emerged after the alleged murder reportedly admitted to cannibalism.
Bacon, a 25-year-old hairstylist, met up with accused killer Mark Latunski on Christmas Eve after matching on Grindr, according to Michigan Live.
When Bacon never showed up at Christmas breakfast, his family called police and, four days later, Bacon’s body was found tied up by his ankles in Latunski’s house.
Latunski, 50, told police that he stabbed Bacon in the back and slit his throat, killing him, then hung him up from the rafters, according to Michigan Live. Then, he told police, he cut off his date’s testicles and ate them.
Emily Latunski, Mark’s ex-wife, petitioned the court in August to suspend his time with their children, citing his diagnoses of “major depression, paranoid schizophrenia and traits of a personality disorder,” according to Michigan Live.
“To my knowledge, I couldn’t force him to see a therapist or take medication,” Jamie Arnold, Mark Latunski’s husband, told the paper. “Never in a million years did I think he’d be capable of doing such a horrendous crime.”
Latunski has been charged with one count each of open murder and mutilation of a human body.
The other, famous Kevin Bacon mourned the 25-year-old’s death last week.
“For obvious reasons I’m thinking this morning about the friends and Family of this young person Kevin Bacon,” the “Footloose” star wrote on Instagram. "His life was taken from him much too soon. His love was hair dressing. I bet he would have done a great job on this mess on my head. RIP KB.'
The Buffalo trio stopped by the Complex studios to discuss their beginnings, their trials and tribulations, Machine Gun’s legacy and how everything from wrestling to art has influenced their work and career moves.

George Lopez said he and others would take out President Trump for half of Iran's reported multi-million dollar bounty on his head, and now ... he's got the attention of the Secret Service.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the U.S. Secret Service is aware of George's remark, and we're told they're working to see if his words carry any legitimacy as a threat.
We're being told part of the process in making this determination will include an interview with GL in some fashion, preferably a face-to-face. One source tells us George can probably expect a knock on his door soon, and he'll be finding agents on the other side.
The comedian made headlines this weekend after leaving a controversial comment on an Instagram account which regurgitated a story that Iranian officials supposedly recently put out an $80 mil offer for DT's life. GL responded to the news, "We'll do it for half."
He came under fire from both sides of the aisle -- especially conservatives -- with many saying he'd crossed a line with his quip. And, even if he was joking, as he later claimed, the death of an American President is obviously no laughing matter.
YG claims nearly half a million dollars in bling was taken right from under his nose -- and cops are on the case.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the rapper filed a police report Monday in L.A. for grand theft, telling police over $400,000 in personal jewelry had recently been jacked from his hotel room at the London. And, by "recently," we mean almost an entire week earlier.
We're told YG claims sometime between 11 PM on NYE and 11 AM the next morning, a briefcase containing high-priced pieces that had been placed on top of a safe was a little lighter than usual. YG told cops he noticed the missing valuables on Jan. 1 ... but for some reason, didn't get around to making an official report until 5 days later.
No suspects have been identified in the case yet ... we're told YG noted he had people coming in and out of his room that night. Makes sense -- it was a big holiday, after all.
That said, our sources say detectives will be looking into possible surveillance footage in and around the area to see if they can spot anything ... in addition to their usual investigatory methods.

He also expresses desire in an eventual rematch vs. Nate Diaz and responds to getting called out by Nick Diaz. (12:58) Masvidal says he thinks he’ll be at UFC 246 and gives his thoughts on McGregor vs. Donald Cerrone.
Logan Paul has called out Antonio Brown -- TO FIGHT IN A BOXING MATCH -- and the craziest part?! Antonio Brown says he's down!
Paul -- whose rematch against KSI was one of the most-watched events on DAZN in 2019 -- had appeared on Barstool's KFC Radio in December and initially called out AB.
"Antonio Brown, I wanna f**k you up," Paul said at the time.
LP essentially explained that AB is out of a job and loves the spotlight -- and it could actually be a huge event.
Well, Brown is down ... tweeting at Paul late Monday night, "Square up!"
Paul fired back, "I’d drop you faster than the patriots."
Things have escalated to the point where a betting site has released betting odds on the possible matchup ... with Logan being the overwhelming favorite. AB could barely believe it.
So, how would they measure up?
Logan Paul -- 24 years old, 6'2", 190 lbs.
Antonio Brown -- 31 years old, 5'10", 185 lbs.
IT'S NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION!!!
Plus, Logan's right ... Brown's unemployed, a freak athlete and loves attention.
Logan has two fights under his belt -- though the first bout with KSI wasn't officially sanctioned. He lost the rematch but people were super impressed with his fighting skill.
Paul has been training ever since and has said he's seriously interested in taking more fights in both boxing and MMA.
As for Brown ... he's been unemployed since the Patriots cut him early in the 2019 NFL season and there's been so much off-the-field drama with him, no one really knows if another NFL team will ever take a chance on the WR ever again.
In other words, might be worth exploring other sports ... and this could be a good start.

2019 Has been full of ups and downs when it comes to the music career for Hecdakid. Early in the year Hec dropped a video and single for his anthem laced record "Glory". Which received lukewarm responses and somewhat of a "Meh" from the fans. Which made the year seem quiet for the Atlanta based artist. Suddenly out of what looks like nowhere an EP called Split was released. Clearly there is an expectation for Hecdakid to deliver the street edgy hard rapper bars. With seven strong tracks this ep gives us the dual personality Hec tends to show us with his "pretty thug" persona. Songs like Super Cold and 2 Mph these tend to be the stand outs. It looks like 2019 wrapped up pretty good for Hecdakid. Check it out: ~G Webb

(CNN) A Kenyan pastor stabbed his wife during a church service and then slit his throat in a murder-suicide witnessed by the shocked congregation, local police told CNN on Monday.
On Sunday, Elijah Misiko, an assistant pastor with the Ground for God's Gospel Church in Mombasa, left his front row seat and approached his wife, senior pastor Ann Mughoi, on the pulpit and stabbed her with one of the knives he'd hidden in an envelope, police said eyewitnesses told them.
"He walked up to his wife while the church was praying as if he wanted to whisper something to her," Mombasa sub-county police commander Julius Kiragu said. "Then he took one of the knives and stabbed her (wife) two times. He believed she was dead. He then stabbed himself three times in the stomach and slit his throat."
Misiko died instantly from his stab wounds and Mughoi died at a local hospital a few hours later, police said. The couple had been engaged in a long-running feud over the ownership and leadership of the church, Kiragu told CNN.
In 2017, Misiko was detained by the police in Mombasa after his wife alleged he planned to kill her, Kiragu said.
Misiko was released the following day after police said they found the accusations untrue, Kiragu said. The couple, which had four children, had lived apart since the dispute began two years ago, police said.
"She had been trying to stay away from the husband since the dispute over the ownership of the church began," Kiragu told CNN. "They had even reported the matter to church leaders but they were unable to resolve the dispute."
Misiko left a 17-page suicide note titled "Betrayal and it's Consequences."
In it, he accused Mughoi of taking everything they accumulated over 19 years, seizing his plot of land and church instruments/equipment by force, denied him visitation with his kids, was planning to marry someone else and changed ownership of the church they founded together, to her name alone.

LOS ANGELES — Harvey Weinstein, the former film mogul whose alleged pattern of sexual abuse fueled the #MeToo movement, was charged in Los Angeles on Monday with sexually assaulting two women, according to the Los Angeles District Attorney.
The charges come on the eve of jury selection in a criminal trial against Weinstein in New York, where he has been charged with felony sexual assault.
Weinstein is being charged in Los Angeles with raping one woman and sexually assaulting another in separate incidents on two consecutive days in February 2013, the district attorney's office said.
"We believe the evidence will show that the defendant used his power and influence to gain access to his victims and then commit violent crimes against them," District Attorney Jackie Lacey said, adding that prosecutors were recommending bail be set at $5 million.
Lacey's office has been reviewing as many as nine alleged sexual assault cases against the producer, as NBC News has previously reported. The cases are being reviewed by the office's entertainment sex crimes task force.
The news of the charges came just hours after Rose McGowan, Rosanna Arquette and other women who have accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct rallied near a New York City courthouse as he arrived for the first day of his criminal trial.
Weinstein, 67, entered the courthouse hunched over a walker after a reported back surgery. When asked how he was feeling, the visibly disheveled ex-producer smiled wanly.
But across the street, several women who have said they were harassed or assaulted by Weinstein insisted he was undeserving of sympathy, recounting his pattern of alleged serial sexual abuse and decrying the culture they claim enabled him for far too long.
"He looked cowardly. He wouldn't look at us. He wouldn't make eye contact," said Sarah Ann Masse, a writer and performer who alleged in an exclusive interview with Variety that Weinstein sexually harassed her while wearing his underwear during a 2008 job interview. "This trial is a cultural reckoning, regardless of its legal outcome."
Masse called on the jury to "make the right decision and put this dangerous man behind bars, where he can live out the rest of his days paying for his crimes."
Weinstein faces charges that he raped a woman in a Manhattan hotel room in 2013 and performed a forcible sex act on another woman in 2006. The activity in the courtroom Monday was largely procedural before proceedings were adjourned for the day, with jury selection expected to begin Tuesday.
If convicted as charged, Weinstein faces up to 28 years in state prison. He has vehemently denied all accusations of nonconsensual sexual activity.
Weinstein has pleaded not guilty in the case.
In all, more than 80 women have accused him of sexual misconduct going back decades, but the New York criminal trial centers on allegations from just two women. The allegations first came to light more than two years ago in investigative reports published by The New York Times and The New Yorker.
Gloria Allred, the powerful civil rights lawyer who is representing Weinstein accusers in Los Angeles and New York, said in a statement that the "walls of justice are closing in on" him.
"Mr. Weinstein's journey to justice is long overdue and the criminal justice system in Los Angeles is now forcing him to confront the accusers against him. Women are no longer willing to suffer in silence and are willing to testify under oath in a court of law," Allred said.
"We look forward to a just result and I am confident that Mr. Weinstein will receive the justice that he deserves," she added.
In a notable development Monday, the judge in the case ruled that Weinstein's defense cannot call to the witness stand the New York police detective who allegedly told an accuser to delete personal cell phone files to hide them from prosecutors, according to the Manhattan District Attorney’s office.
The judge, James B. Burke, ruled that Weinstein's lawyers cannot call NYPD Det. Nicholas DiGaudio, but they may question other witnesses about him.
The union representing DiGaudio, the Detectives' Endowment Association, has previously claimed he was “simply trying to get to the truth” and did not seek to influence the probe, according to The Associated Press.
