Rapper Orders Hit On His FATHER From Jail For Impregnating His SON’S WIFE | HO
It is a murder plot so shocking and morally tangled that even hardened detectives struggled to believe it when they first pieced it together.
A rising Fort Worth rapper — already locked up awaiting trial for a separate series of gang-related killings — is accused of calmly orchestrating the execution of his own father from inside a Texas county jail. The alleged motive?
His father had impregnated the girlfriend — and mother of the child — of the rapper’s late brother. That same woman was also deeply entangled with their family in a way that blurred every boundary that once defined loyalty, love and blood.
What unfolded next would tear apart an already fractured family and leave a city stunned. A father shot dead at his mailbox. A son accused of engineering the ambush using code words and a network of loyal accomplices. And beneath it all, a chain of betrayals so tangled that even today, no one entirely agrees where tragedy ended and revenge began.
This is the story of Kevin Brown Sr., the 47-year-old father who never made it back inside from checking his mail… and the son who allegedly wanted him dead.
A City Used to Violence — But Not This
Fort Worth has two faces.
There is the postcard Texas — cowboy hats, polished boots, thriving art districts and tourists lining up at the Stockyards.
And then there is the other Fort Worth — the one locals whisper about. Neighborhoods divided by gang lines. Streets where loyalty is everything — and betrayal is punished with bullets. A city where the Rollin’ 60s Crips have splintered into dozens of sets, claiming pockets of the south side as their territory.
So when Kevin Brown Sr. was shot and killed outside his home in January 2022, police at first assumed it was just another targeted street hit.
But Kevin wasn’t a gang member. He wasn’t feuding. He lived quietly, worked, and tried — however imperfectly — to maintain order among his six children.
The truth would prove much darker.
Because according to investigators, the man who wanted him dead… was one of his own sons.
And that son was no stranger to violence.
The Rapper With Real-Life Blood in His Lyrics
Before his arrest, 23-year-old Brilan “Crazy Boy Bray” Brown was becoming a name in Texas underground rap — known for gritty lyrics about betrayal, street life and death. He rapped alongside major Dallas-area artists and built a reputation for being “too real for fiction.”
But prosecutors say the realism wasn’t artistry — it was documentation.
Court records tie him to one of Fort Worth’s most violent gang sets. By his teens, he’d racked up juvenile cases. His grandmother would later describe him as uncontrollable — consumed by anger after the death of his older brother, Kevin Brown Jr., during a robbery gone wrong in 2016.
That loss shattered him emotionally.
Music became his outlet.
Violence became his language.
And by 2020 — according to prosecutors — innocent people were dying.
Two fatal shootings, three days apart. A diss track mocking a rival’s death. A spiraling gang feud leaving grieving families in its wake.
By the time his father died, Brilan was already behind bars facing capital murder charges.
But jail — investigators say — didn’t stop him.
It just gave him time to plan.
The Forbidden Relationship That Sparked the Plot
While Brilan sat in jail awaiting trial, life outside continued… and relationships blurred in ways that would eventually prove deadly.
Kevin Sr. began a relationship with Rebecca Willis — a woman who mattered deeply to the Brown family for one devastating reason.
She had previously been in a relationship with Kevin Jr. — Brilan’s older brother.
They even had a child together.
So when Rebecca later became involved with Kevin Sr. — the father of the man she once loved — it crossed a line the Brown family never recovered from.
And then came the bombshell.
Rebecca became pregnant again.
This time — with Kevin Sr.’s baby.
One woman.
Two children.
One father.
One grandfather.
A family tree that now looped back on itself in ways no one could emotionally untangle.
For Brilan — the son locked in a jail cell mourning his dead brother — this wasn’t just strange.
It was betrayal.
And prosecutors say his fury turned lethal.
Murder — Planned From Behind Bars
If detectives were stunned at the motive, they were even more shocked at the method.
According to court testimony, Brilan built a murder plot from jail using coded messages — calling guns “controllers” and bullets “pieces.” He allegedly recruited:
• Shooter: 19-year-old gang associate Damon Cotton
• Getaway driver: Cotton’s girlfriend Ashlin Durham
• Logistics coordinator: One of Brilan’s girlfriends, Alexis Abieta
Police say he promised $2,000–$3,000 for the killing.
And then came the most chilling detail.
Investigators say he arranged a three-way phone call in which his father unknowingly spoke while his son silently listened — guiding every moment.
Durham and Cotton parked across the street in a black Chrysler and waited.
Eleven minutes.
Then Kevin Sr. stepped outside — phone pressed to his ear — believing he was checking his mailbox for a package.
He never saw the rifle.
A bullet tore through his head.
He collapsed in the driveway.
Neighbors ran out screaming.
The car disappeared.
And a son — prosecutors allege — had just successfully ordered his father’s execution.
From jail.
A Trail of Digital Bread Crumbs
Detectives moved fast.
Neighborhood security cameras captured everything — the eleven-minute wait, the movement of the Chrysler, the fatal shots.
Traffic cameras traced the damaged car across the city.
Within hours, police had names.
When officers brought in Ashlin Durham, she broke — revealing the entire conspiracy… and the man at the center of it: the victim’s own son.
Jail tablet logs revealed coded messages.
Phone records confirmed three-way calls.
Digital trails prosecutors say were meant to be hidden — but were anything but.
Rebecca — the woman at the center of the family scandal — initially told police Kevin was her father.
Eventually, the truth emerged.
And the motive made horrifying sense.
Conviction — and No Chance of Freedom
By late 2022, all four were in custody.
When Brilan Brown went on trial in 2023, prosecutors argued the case was not complicated:
He had lost a brother.
He believed his father disgraced that memory.
And he responded with murder.
Texas law does not require the trigger-man to be the one convicted of murder. Planning it makes you just as guilty.
The jury agreed.
He was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Cotton received 65 years.
Durham and Abieta cooperated — their cases continue.
From the courtroom to the community, one question lingered:
How could a son choose revenge over blood?
A Family Tree Built on Grief — and Ruin
Today, there is no winner.
• A father is dead.
• A son will die in prison.
• A grandmother lost a child — and a grandson — to the same tragedy.
• Two children are growing up in a family where sibling and uncle blur together.
• Mothers of earlier gang-violence victims now grieve alongside them.
And a Texas city already numb to gunfire is left struggling to comprehend a murder plotted not for money…
…but for violation of a code written in grief, anger and pride.
A Chilling Warning About Jail Communications
The case forced officials to confront an uncomfortable truth:
Inmates were able to plan murder from inside jail using tablets and phone privileges designed for family contact.
Reviews followed.
Reforms were promised.
But for the Brown family — it was too late.
Where It Ends
In the end, the story reads like something out of a dark crime novel:
A grieving son turned hardened rapper.
A father crossing unthinkable personal boundaries.
A woman whose relationships tied generations together.
A murder planned from a jail cell.
A family destroyed.
But this wasn’t fiction.
It was Fort Worth.
And it left behind a family line so twisted that even today, few dare try to map it.
Because somewhere inside that family tree…
a son ordered the death of the man who raised him.
And no verdict will ever rewrite that.
