Police identify rapper Bvlly as victim in fatal Christmas Eve shooting

A 24-year-old Toronto rap artist is dead after an early morning shooting at a townhouse complex in north Oshawa. Investigators believe he was visiting the area at the time, but it's unclear if the shooting was targeted.

OSHAWA, Ont. — Police east of Toronto say the victim of an early-morning homicide has been identified as a local rapper.

Durham Regional Police say Jahquar Stewart, who performed under the name Bvlly, died early Tuesday morning at a home in Oshawa, Ont.

Officers were called to the home around 3:00 a.m. after receiving reports of gunshots in the area.

They say Stewart, 24, was found with gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene.

The independent artist was building his name in Toronto’s rap scene following the debut of his first single “No Light Bag” in 2018.

He released the full-length album “Made in Austria” in September.

Police say they do not have any suspects in custody and are continuing their investigation.
