Homicide investigators in B.C. say it’s not yet clear whether the murders of two up-and-coming Toronto rappers on opposite ends of the country are linked.

Police have identified Keeshawn Brown, also known as rapper Why-S, as the 18-year-old man who was found suffering from fatal gunshot wounds in a Surrey, B.C., home around 9:30 p.m. Monday.

Around 3 a.m. Tuesday, Durham Regional Police responded to reports of shots fired in Oshawa, Ont., and found 24-year-old Jahquar Stewart, who performed as Bvlly and was pronounced dead at the scene.

On Saturday, Det. Lara Jansen with B.C.’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said Brown had been targeted in the shooting, and that he was the only one inside the South Surrey home at the time.

The owner of the property has not been disclosed.

She added Brown was not known to police in B.C., and could not speak to whether he had run-ins with police in Ontario. His name does not show up in Ontario court records.
