More shocking details have been shared about the tragic death of “We Ready” rapper Archie Eversole. As it was previously reported, the entertainer died earlier this month from gunshot wounds he sustained on March 25, according to a statement by the DeKalb County Police Department. Police arrested his brother, Alexander Kraus, at a gas station without incident on the night of the shooting. Kraus was originally booked on an aggravated assault charge, but that got upgraded to a murder charge after Eversole died on April 3.
According to the latest update by TMZ, Archie Eversole, was shot in the jaw while he was asleep, shortly before he died from his wounds. In the police report obtained by the news site, Archie reportedly told cops someone had kicked open his bedroom door and he was awakened by a gunshot to his face on March 25, but he couldn’t see who shot him. The docs say police asked if the shooter was still in the home, and he nodded his head yes. Cops then tried to ask him if he possibly knew who he was shot by but Archie wouldn’t answer, and then he started to fade in and out of consciousness.
Archie was later rushed to the hospital, where he sadly died April 3. Police named his brother Alexander Krause as the shooter. Now, what’s even more strange about this is that the mother of a slain Georgia rapper insists that it was not his own brother who killed him, as police have alleged. “They had no arguments. They had no feuds,” the mother said in a video recorded by Eversole’s manager John Williams, who shared the clip to Fox 5 Atlanta. “OK, no. And I know that. Yesterday I talked to the neighbor next door. I asked her and I say: Did you hear any arguments? Did you hear any fights? She said no. She didn’t hear nothing. Not that day. Not any other day.”
So who do they think shot Archie?
While the mother is too devastated to speak, the family also believes that life saving efforts were done to save the rapper, Fox 5 Atlanta reports. Eversole is most known for his 2002 hit song “We Ready” which was part of his 2002 album “Ride Wit Me Dirty South Style.” It also included a remix featuring Bubba Sparxxx that has been played many sports fans ever since its release. “We are heartbroken to hear of the tragic passing of Archie Eversole. A staple in the Atlanta hip-hop scene, Archie adopted Atlanta United before our first season and continued to be one of our club’s most fervent supporters,” Atlanta United wrote in a statement following news about his death. “His voice will long live in our supporters’ minds as ‘We Ready’ billows through the speakers for kick-off at Atlanta United matches. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends.”
