Report via TMZ -- Lil Peep's own decisions to use drugs and follow down a "destructive path" are to blame for his OD ... so says the tour company being sued by Peep's mom for the rapper's death.

A rep for First Access Entertainment tells TMZ ... Peep's accidental drug overdose was a terrible tragedy, but the company "consistently encouraged Peep to stop abusing drugs and to distance himself from the negative influence of the drug users and enablers."

At the end of the day, First Access says, "He was an adult who made his own decisions and opted to follow a different, more destructive path."

TMZ broke the story ... Peep's mom, Liza Womack, filed a lawsuit Monday claiming First Access Entertainment and people associated with the company supplied Peep with drugs ... resulting in his 2017 death. Womack also claims Peep asked to stop touring several times, claiming he was mentally and physically exhausted ... but they forced him to continue.

Womack claims Peep was "pushed onto stage after stage in city after city, plying and propping" him up with drugs.

First Entertainment's calling BS ... claiming Womack was well aware of its numerous efforts to steer Peep away from his drug use. What's more -- First Entertainment claims the Medical Examiner ruled that Peep's death was accidental -- so bottom line ... it ain't their fault.

DALLAS (AP) — Three Louisiana men are suspected in the killing of a witness who testified at the murder trial of a former Dallas police officer, authorities said Tuesday, cautioning that the killing had nothing at all to do with that trial or case.

The suspects — Jacquerious Mitchell, 20; Michael Mitchell, 32; and Thaddeous Green, 22 — are from Alexandria, Louisiana, and investigators believe they were in Dallas to buy drugs from Joshua Brown , Assistant Chief Avery Moore said at a news conference.

Moore said Jacquerious Mitchell told police that Brown shot him in the chest after Green and Brown began fighting during the drug deal, and that Green then shot Brown twice.

Jacquerious Mitchell is in a Dallas hospital in “critical condition,” police said. Neither Michael Mitchell, who is Jacquerious’ uncle, nor Thaddeous Green are in custody.

Green left with Brown’s backpack and gun, police said. Authorities confiscated 12 pounds (5.4 kilograms) of marijuana, 149 grams of THC cartridges and more than $4,000 in cash during a search of Brown’s home.

The announcement comes after days of speculation regarding Brown’s death, which happened two days after a jury sentenced former police Officer Amber Guyger to 10 years in prison for killing her upstairs neighbor, Botham Jean. Guyger fatally shot Jean in September 2018 in his fourth-floor apartment, which she said she mistook for her own unit one floor below.

Brown, who was black, was one of several neighbors who were called by prosecutors to testify at the trial. The conspiracy theories surrounding his death underscored the distrust that some Dallas residents have for their police department.

“I have no reason to believe that their conclusions so far in the investigation are unreliable, but I believe ... some members of the community will have a difficult time accepting it because of their association ... with the Amber Guyger trial,” said Lee Merritt, attorney for the families of Brown and Jean.

The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund Inc. previously requested an independent investigation into Brown’s death, calling it “deeply alarming and highly suspicious” in a news release. And Merritt urged the department to hand off the investigation into Brown’s death to another law enforcement agency as a way to bolster trust.

But Moore, the assistant police chief, said Tuesday that it was reckless for people to speculate as to the circumstances surrounding Brown’s death, adding that it undermined the public’s faith in the department.

“As you know, there’s been speculation and rumors that have been shared by community leaders claiming that Mr. Brown’s death was related to the Amber Guyger trial and somehow the Dallas Police Department was responsible,” Moore said. “I assure that is simply not true and I encourage those leaders to be mindful of their actions moving forward because their words have jeopardized the integrity of the City of Dallas as well as the Dallas Police Department.”

Brown, who lived on the same floor as Jean, testified that on the night Jean was killed, he heard what sounded like “two people meeting by surprise” and then two gunshots. He said he had met Jean, a 26-year-old accountant from the Caribbean island nation of St. Lucia, for the first time earlier that day.

Merritt previously said Brown had had reservations about testifying in such a high-profile trial because he had been wounded in a shooting outside of a Dallas strip club last year. Police Major Max Geron said Tuesday that investigators have no evidence linking that shooting to Brown’s death.

Since the shooting, elected leaders have asked the public to refrain from speculating about the circumstances of Brown’s death. Mayor Eric Johnson on Tuesday thanked “everyone who demonstrated patience and responsibly reserved their judgment while” police investigated.

Report via TMZ -- Lil Peep's mother says his management team and the company behind his final tour supplied the rapper with drugs, an unstable environment and pushed him to the point of exhaustion ... all factors that led to his tragic death.

Peep's mom, Liza Womack, filed a lawsuit Monday against First Access Entertainment and people associated with the company. Womack claims, starting in early 2017 during Peep's The Peep Show tour, the use of controlled drugs and illegal substances were allowed, normalized and even encouraged by management.

Womack says during a stop in London, her son was gifted a bottle of pills by one of his managers during a group dinner.

The docs claim the rampant drug use continued later in 2017 -- during Peep's final Come Over When You're Sober tour. Womack says Peep was regularly supplied with Xanax, Ketamine and other drugs while on the road.

During one tour stop on May 10, 2017, in Los Angeles, Peep's mom claims he was "barely able to communicate, let alone perform, due to his use of drugs." In the suit, she adds, despite being in a "comatose-like state" ... his managers allowed him to perform.

Womack alleges Peep repeatedly expressed to management he wanted to quit the tour, saying he was physically and emotionally drained, but they ignored his pleas and "pushed [Peep] onto stage after stage in city after city, plying and propping" him up with drugs.

The last tour stop before Peep's death was in El Paso, and in the docs his mother alleges one of his managers, Belinda Mercer, told him to take "an excessive amount of Xanax" so he would get sick ... and then insurance would cover the cancellation of the show. Mom also claims Mercer had a sexual relationship with Peep.

It's unclear if he took Mercer's alleged suggestion, but he did perform that night, and it turned out to be his final show.

Womack says this behavior and lack of regard for Peep's well-being ultimately led to his overdose in November 15, 2017, when he was found dead on his tour bus in Tucson. Peep's cause of death was listed as a combination of fentanyl and alprazolam (Xanax).

Womack is suing for unspecified damages.

We reached out to First Access Entertainment ... so far, no word back.

Report via TMZ -- D.L. Hughley's not necessarily pointing the finger at police following the death of Botham Jean's neighbor ... but he's not yet convinced they have clean hands either.

We got Hughley Monday at LAX, and his take on the shocking murder of Joshua Brown -- who testified against ex-Dallas cop Amber Guyger days before getting gunned down -- is definitely an interesting one.

D.L. said if Brown had testified against a gang member and then got shot, it would be natural to suspect the gang was involved. So, in this case, it only makes sense to wonder if cops had something to do with the slaying.

He says if the police really had nothing to do with Brown getting killed in a Friday night drive-by shooting, they'll be extra motivated to find the true killer. But, if they don't solve the case ... Hughley says they're opening themselves up to serious suspicion.

That being said, the comedian admits he was already pissed about the case due to Guyger's 10-year sentence for murdering Botham.

As we reported ... Botham's brother, Brandt, stunned the courtroom during Guyger's sentencing by forgiving and then hugging her.

Judge Tammy Kemp also hugged Guyger after the sentencing, which some people loved, but others found highly inappropriate.

D.L. says he hated it, but for a slightly different reason.
