A felony arrest warrant was issued for the 22-year-old brother of a rapper who was shot last week and died the following day.
Tucson Police homicide detectives were searching for the whereabouts of Elijah Kawon Muhammad Lee Mays, the brother of music artist Jeremy High.
Mays is wanted for second-degree murder in the shooting death of High who was shot Jan. 15 and died Jan. 16, said Sgt. Chris Widmer, a Tucson Police Department spokesman.
No further information about the case was released Wednesday.
Police ask that anyone with information about Mays call 911 or 88-CRIME.
High, 24, known artistically as Jae High, was shot inside an apartment at 3225 S. Wilmot Road, said Widmer.
Officers went to the apartment complex after reports of a shooting at 10:45 a.m., Widmer said.
The complex is in a neighborhood at South Wilmot Road and East Stella Road.
High can be seen on YouTube videos and Twitter. Local websites and blogs about rap and hip-hop music were posting condolences on their sites about High's death.
Director Jordan Tower, of Jordan Tower Films based in Atlanta, said in an interview last week that he worked with High three years ago on "Dis Mornin," which set off High's music career.
"This was one of his first videos," said Tower Friday. "He was very talented."
"He was putting videos online and trying to get noticed, trying to get that break. "He had a nice catalog of music."
Some of High's other songs were "Turn Away," "Betchu Aint Know" and "Make Me Lose It."
