Funny Mike posted grief the way he’s seen thousands of fans do it online—fast, personal, and heavy. After news surfaced that 15-year-old Tyruan Dunn had died. the content creator shared photos and video montages of himself with Tyruan on Instagram Stories. ending the tribute with the words. “Rest Up 💔.”.
The teen. who previously appeared as part of Funny Mike’s ‘Bad Kids’ crew. was reportedly killed in a shooting on Wednesday (May 20) evening in Baton Rouge. Authorities say Tyruan was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds in the roadway and was pronounced dead at the scene. Police also confirmed that a second victim was injured and transported to a local hospital in critical condition. The investigation remains ongoing.
Dunn’s death quickly spread through the same online circles that made the ‘Bad Kids’ crew familiar to so many viewers. Other members associated with the group. including BadKidMacei and BadKidJay. reposted memories and photos of the 15-year-old as supporters flooded social media with prayers and condolences.
What made the reaction sting even more for viewers is how visible Tyruan and the crew had been—frequently featured in FunnyMike’s YouTube content, livestreams, skits, and social media videos. For fans, it wasn’t just a name in a breaking-news post. It was someone they recognized from the screen.
As the story moved through the timeline. social media users shared heartbreak in their own words—and questions of their own. Instagram user @myanoell wrote, “Multiple gunshot wounds?. So he was targeted?. SMH rest up baby boy 😢.” @airdnaxela704 posted. “Damnnn I remember when I used to watch them on Youtube. rest up baby boy 💔🪽. this shi sad as hell man.”.
Others reacted with shock, including @mr.chillhard2, who wrote, “I’m so confused if he was under his wing how he end up back inna streets,” and @1sadman_og, who said, “Bro really tried taking them out that life too daam g 🤦🏽♂️.”
Several messages also mixed mourning with prayer or anger. @444theluvofrissaa wrote, “LLBADKIDTYRAUN 🥺💔🕊️ 🤦🏽♀️ praying for friends and family,” while @tammynguyen1451 simply posted, “omg 💔💔💔.”
Not every comment landed the same way. @kiyahalii wrote, “I’m sorry but I blame the parents!. Mike is not to blame for nothing that happens to these kidss its the parents that keep them in that fked up environment that’s all them kids know is BR 🥺.” @kiyahalii also reflected a theme that showed up repeatedly in the replies: who bears responsibility when someone so young doesn’t make it.
Still, many centered on personal connection to the crew. @_jaayyl3nn wrote, “Omg he was one of my favorite bad kids when I was younger that’s crazy,” while @antierii said, “Omg he was really one of the original wow this is heartbreaking 💔.”
Authorities have not closed the case yet, and the investigation is still ongoing. But in the meantime. Funny Mike and the wider ‘Bad Kids’ circle continue to grapple with the same reality their audience keeps writing about—one more young life cut short. and a community left to process the loss in real time.
