American rapper, Devin Swain aka Lil Devin, was killed in front of his loved ones after several masked men invaded his family New Year’s Eve party, reports have claimed.

Devin died after sustaining injuries to his chest.

He died aged 24.

Fox 59 reported that officers rushed to the house for a possible home invasion robbery, and when they arrived, they found Swain injured.

Unfortunately he was later pronounced dead at a hospital despite the best efforts of medical teams.

Reacting to Devin’s death, his brother, Donald Cox, said: “It was traumatic very traumatic some thing that I wouldn’t want anyone to ever go through. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone’s family.

“It’s definitely hard we never really expected like something like this to come about to such a phenomenal person. He was just one of those people that believed in me before I even believed in myself.”
