It’s a tragic holy weekend for Ricky Trooper. The veteran sound system selector’s daughter was killed April 6 in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
According to police in that New England city, 23 year-old Brianna Destiny McKoy was found unresponsive inside her condominium. An infant, unharmed, was also found there by police.
They added that a manhunt is in force for Derrick Francis, who was dating McKoy and is considered “armed and dangerous.” Police said Francis has an arrest record in New York, and is known to frequent the North End of Bridgeport and the Bronx.
In a seven-minute IG video, Ricky Trooper (real name Garfield McKoy) expressed gratitude to the public for their support as he tries to deal with the loss of his daughter.
