LALA BROWN & BOYFRIEND FOUND MURDERED
Sunday, October 21, 2007
Yolanda ‘Lala’ Brown, 21, best known for singing with Lyfe Jennings on the song, “S.E.X” was found murdered alongside her boyfriend in Milwalkee on Friday. I got a lot of emails about this yesterday but finally found a valid link.
A familiar voice to Milwaukee R & B fans has been silenced. Twenty-one year old Yolanda “La La” Brown and her producer, 22-year-old JeTannue Clayborn, were found dead in their recording studio Friday night.
Milwaukee police say both were found in the Loud Enuff Productionz studio at 55th and Lisbon. Both had gunshot wounds and had been dead at least a day before being discovered. They were reportedly dating.
JeTannue’s mother, Dina Chambers, describes him as energetic, with an eye toward making music his career. “He loved music. He loved people. He was very kind. They called him “Koo Laid” because every time you saw him, he was smiling.” [SOURCE]
According to one CL reader she was survived by a daughter. Horrible news. For the Lyfe Jennings video, please check after the jump.
A MESSAGE FROM LALA’S UNCLE ROBERT
This is La La’s uncle. On behalf of the family we thank you for your support. Although we are sad that she is not with us we will celebrate her life. She has touched the world with her God given talent.
Please, stop the killing. Stop it now. Money, hate, there are no reasons to take another life. Hug your child and tell them it’s not ok to kill. We will raise her daughter and celebrate La La’s life. -Robert

It is so sad that persons cannot respect the lives of others, violence does not solve the problem. There is to much hate in the world, there was no need to kill them if they were going 2 rob them they should have doe just that, there was no need to kill them aint no coming back from death.I hope that they find who did it, my condolences go out to their families.

I’m so so sad that this happened to this young woman and her boyfriend. I was really looking forward to her work in the future…she also had a bright future ahead of her and it’s ashame that someone just took that future away from her. I pray for them every night and hope they’re doing just fine in heaven. This is so shocking and i hope the person or people who did this really gets what they deserve..and i also hear that she has a child, or children. That person just took someone’s mother away, that person took someone’s daughter away, someone’s sister away, someone’s idol away. and it’s a shame. R.I.P

this is very sad i loved that song! she was very pretty. plus tht she had a daughter that is wrong to do a person. I pray for the family and hope that, that stupid person who killed them will be found and put to death for taking soemoen elses life. How could someone take anothers life? What kinda of sick person was this person i hope that person knows he/she will be found adn be punished and hope that they know tht they have to lie their rest of their lie knowing that they killed someone that was loved bu a lot.

It is tragic what happened to this poor young lady. I pray for her child and family’s strength and prosperity. May GOD reside in them always. Also, there are people who still believe she is alive, and are wondering if she’s going to drop a CD. I don’t know what if anything you can do about it, but I’ve been on other music blog sites and MySpace and I’ve seen a lot of people mention her, unaware of what’s happened. Also does anyone know if the bastards that did this have been caught?

that sucks, i didn’t even know she past away until 10 minutes ago. She had so much more do with being a mother and a singer. Her baby girl can’t even she here or anything.
I wish people would stop the voilence and think “ how would feel if someone did that to someone you love and care for ”?
