The rapper Juvenile, whose real name is Terius Gray, fathered Deleston’s 4-year-old daughter, Jelani, He declined through his attorney to discuss the killings on Thursday, saying “it remains a private matter.” A memorial service was held Friday for Deleston in front of the Gwinnett County Detention Center...
