The Murder of Tynisha Ysais by Big Lurch

from Dark Origins

Alisha Allen rushed over to her friend, Tynisha Ysais’, house after hearing she may have been assaulted earlier in the day. As she approached the complex she noticed a man walking around completely naked and covered in blood. Thankfully she was able to flag down a passing police officer to alert him to the strange man. Officers approached the man, who clearly had a meaty substance stuck to his facial hair, and arrested him without incident. Meanwhile Alisha continued towards her friends apartment. When she walked in she found her friend dead on her bedroom floor - she had been completely brutalized. One of her lungs and part of her intestines were pulled out of her body and piled on top of her body, and it looked as though her murderer had taken bites out of parts of her body. Tynisha was a mother of two who hoped to become a model and she was only twenty-one. The man police arrested was her roommate, an up and coming horror core rapper named Big Lurch. Many of his songs contained lyrics about murdering and cannibalizing people, but how much does someones art say about them? Sources:Archives, L. A.
