The Brief
Gillie Da Kid made a connection between his son's murder and a recent Philly teen's murder while on Club Shay Shay Wednesday.
In the interview, Gillie says police told him Noah Scurry was Gillie's son's killer.
FOX 29 has yet to confirm the alleged connection with the Philadelphia Police Department.
PHILADELPHIA - Gillie Da Kid says police informed him of a connection between the murder of his son, Devin Spady, nearly two years ago, and a local high school basketball star, Noah Scurry, who was recently killed.
Gillie revealed that though his son was killed in the shooting, the deadly shots were not intended for him.
Timeline
Devin Spady, who went by YNG Cheese, the son of Philadelphia rapper Gillie Da Kid, was killed in a triple shooting in Olney back in July 2023.
The 25-year-old was shot to death and two other men were hurt when investigators say gunshots erupted on the 5800 block of Mascher Street.
Police have not reported any arrests in the deadly triple shooting.
In mid-January 2025, 17-year-old Noah Scurry was shot to death outside his home, in front of his mother.
Philadelphia Police say Scurry was shot and killed in what appeared to be a targeted shooting around 7 a.m. January 14, in an alleyway behind Rohrer Street. Approximately 20 shots were fired.
Philadelphia School District spokesperson Monique Braxton described Scurry as a star student-athlete, and said the principal, basketball coach, and school community were devastated.
In a letter sent home to the school's families, the principal stated that Scurry recently scored the highest on the SAT College Placement tests in the school community.
At the time, police confirmed they believed that a white Jeep Cherokee was used in the shooting.
Investigators believed at least two shooters jumped out of the vehicle. A third person might have been driving the car.
Sources tell FOX 29 that Scurry was a victim in a previous shooting back in May 2023 on the 4600 block of Mulberry Street. A man in his 60s was killed in that shooting.
Philadelphia Police have not publicly stated any details on why they believe Scurry was targeted. They have not released a motive, or description of any suspect(s). They have not commented on Scurry's past or alleged social media presence.
What we know
In an interview on Shannon Sharpe's talk show, Club Shay Shay Wednesday, Philadelphia native Gillie Da Kid spoke out about his son's murder.
What they're saying
In the interview, Sharpe asks Gillie, "Have you talked to the kid that took your son's life?"
'Nah I never met him," Gillie replied. "Only reason I knew is because the police called me and told me once he was murdered. Cause the kid had just got shot 17 times he was walking with his mom and he got murdered and then the police notified me and let me know that he was one of the kids that was pretty much about to get locked up for the murder, but he got murdered first."
"He had to deal with God, that's how I look at it," Gillie continued.
Minutes later, as the two continued their discussion on gun violence and crime in Philadelphia, Sharpe mentioned he heard about 17-year-old Noah Scurry, the star student-athlete who was recently shot to death outside his home, in front of his mother, as she was getting ready to take him to Samuel Fels High School.
Gillie then says, 'that's who killed my son.'
'The 17 teen-?" Sharpe asks.
Gillie nods and says, "Yeah. The 17-year-old basketball player that just got shot 17 times. That's who killed my son."
Gillie continued on to say the fatal gunshots were not meant for his son.
"He just happened to be at the wrong place, at the wrong time," Gillie said.
What we don't know
The Philadelphia Police Department has yet to confirm the connection between Scurry and Spady to FOX 29.

Parents Charged After Son Was Killed While Crossing Road
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The parents of a seven-year-old boy who died after he was hit by an SUV have been charged with involuntary manslaughter over their child's death. The boy was crossing the street in Gastonia, North Carolina, with his 10-year-old sibling at a point without a crosswalk, when he was hit by an SUV driven by a 76-year-old female. The boy died of his injuries four hours later. The Gastonia Police Department has been contacted via email for comment. Jessica Ivey (left) and Samuele Jenkins (right). Jessica Ivey (left) and Samuele Jenkins (right). Gastonia Police Deptartment Why It Matters Police said in post on Facebook that in such cases adults "must be held accountable." Public opinion on the charges appears to be split, some people taking to social media to praise the police department, and others saying that parents cannot be expected to look out for their children every second of the day. What To Know Parents, Jessica Ivey, 30, and Samuele Jenkins, 31, have been charged by the Gastonia Police Department with felony child neglect, and misdemeanor child neglect, as well as involuntary manslaughter. The driver of the vehicle involved is not being charged at this time. Just before 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 27, officers arrived at the scene of a traffic collision to find a 7-year-old child had been struck by a Jeep Cherokee. The child, who has not been named by police, had life-threatening injuries and was first taken to CaroMont Regional Medical Center and then to Levine Children's Hospital in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he died. Police have said there is no evidence that the driver was speeding or that she committed wrongdoing, so she is not being charged at this time. Both parents are now each on $1.5 million bail and were being held at Gaston County Jail. Appealing for witnesses, Gastonia Police Department's Traffic Division said the driver continues to be cooperative and the incident remains under active investigation. A study into the risks posed by cars to pedestrians conducted by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and Imperial College London found that children are 82 percent more likely to be killed or seriously injured when hit by an SUV or a light truck vehicle than a smaller car. What People Are Saying Gastonia Police Department on Facebook: "While the Gastonia Police Department offers its deepest sympathies to the family for the heartbreaking loss of their child, the investigation revealed that the children involved were unsupervised at the time the boy stepped into traffic. In such cases, adults must be held accountable for their responsibilities to ensure a safe environment for their children." Elsa Robinson, an MSc Public Health student at LSHTM, told Carwow: "These larger vehicles are particularly dangerous for children, especially young children. Children are shorter in height and more vulnerable to being hit in critical areas such as the head or chest by a tall car's front end." What Happens Next Both parents are awaiting a pretrial hearing.

Trump 'sanctuary jurisdictions' list; Wisconsin communities named
The Brief The Trump administration released a new list of what it calls "sanctuary jurisdictions." Two Wisconsin cities and two Wisconsin counties were named. The administration claims the communities are not complying with federal immigration enforcement efforts. MILWAUKEE - The Trump administration has released a new list of what it calls "sanctuary jurisdictions," which it claims are not complying with federal immigration enforcement efforts. Here's which Wisconsin communities were named. Local perspective More than 500 communities across the U.S. were put on the "sanctuary jurisdictions" list that was released this week. In Wisconsin, those jurisdictions include the cities of Milwaukee and Madison as well as Dane and Shawano counties. FREE DOWNLOAD: Get breaking news alerts in the FOX LOCAL Mobile app for iOS or Android Dig deeper Among the most confusing aspects of the list: several jurisdictions with no known sanctuary policies were included. Shawano County, for instance, believes it may have been added by mistake. County administrator Jim Davel said the only policy vote in recent years was to become a "Second Amendment Sanctuary County" opposing gun control laws – unrelated to immigration. Other unexpected names include Alexandria, Virginia, and Huntington Beach, California – both communities with histories of cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. What they're saying According to the Department of Homeland Security, the list was created using several factors, including whether a jurisdiction self-identifies as a sanctuary, limits information-sharing with ICE, or offers legal protections to undocumented immigrants. DHS said the list will be updated regularly. There's no legal definition for the term. Generally, it refers to a city, county, or state that limits local cooperation with federal immigration authorities, particularly ICE. The concept has historical roots in the "sanctuary movement" of the 1980s, when religious institutions sheltered Central American refugees fleeing civil wars. Today, many cities adopt these policies to promote public safety, arguing that undocumented residents are more likely to report crimes if they don't fear deportation. Dig deeper César García Hernández, a law professor at Ohio State University, said the practice has evolved but continues to reflect a divide between local and federal priorities. "There was no legal guarantee of immunity," he said, "but there was policy." But critics say the methodology is unclear. SIGN UP TODAY: Get daily headlines, breaking news emails from FOX6 News Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, which supports stricter immigration enforcement, said the lack of documentation undermines the list's credibility. "That's one thing that I feel is missing from the list – some documentation as to why they're appearing on the list," she said. Nithya Nathan-Pineau, an attorney with the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, called the list arbitrary: "It seems quite arbitrary because not all of these states or specific jurisdictions have a policy that limits cooperation with ICE."
