Brandon Guidry, who performed as 'Lil Real One', died after being stabbed in the neck at Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola.

Brandon Guidry, who performed as 'Lil Real One' during his association with late rapper Soulja Slim in the early 2000s, died on 22 October after being stabbed in the neck with an ice pick two days earlier at Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. His sister reported the death in a post seeking donations for funeral costs.

Guidry was convicted in December 2016 of second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder following a shooting in the French Quarter on 21 March 2015. An Orleans Parish jury took 45 minutes to reach its verdict. He was found guilty of shooting 25-year-old musician Bruce Tims to death outside Last Call Bar and Grill near Bourbon and Conti streets, and of wounding another man.

Prosecutors said Guidry first confronted the surviving victim inside the bar about 'looking at his girlfriend', doused him with pepper spray on the sidewalk, and was separated by bystanders. Guidry returned about an hour later with a gun and opened fire. He was sentenced to life plus 50 years and had been imprisoned for a decade.

Guidry's sister wrote that her brother was stabbed 'while reportedly fully restrained and handcuffed from his hands to his feet' by another inmate.
