LLOYD AVERY II: LIFE IMITATES ART BOYZ N THE HOOD (LOS ANGELES) 

That picture of him in the car holding that gun is iconic..he could have been a great actor..

He played that Boyz n the Hood role too hard that energy took him over!

Wtf! Wow. This guy was troubled. Came from a wholesome family and lifestyle and chose to go completely left. He got opportunities some people will work for their whole life to get and just blew them away. Smdh. Such a blessed person who didn’t realize it or honor it at all. Hope his soul is at rest and peaceful, because this lifetime was not as forgiving. My condolences to his family and friends who may see this RU-vid video. 🙏🏿💐

His role in boys in the hood is iconic

You really broke Lloyd’s story down. As well as, providing photos that I’ve never seen before. Thank you!

It sound like he was entrapped in a conflict against his SOUL... It is true that ART imitates LIFE.

He had a very strong and distinctive face, quite scary at times. So sad what happened to him he had the potential to do great things but chose to go astray and do things that weren’t in his favor.

This should be a Netflix series , great info and breakdown on his life

He could've had such a longer; stellar career in acting. Such a shame how things turned out. May he be at peace.

I’ve already seen a video on his life like 2 years ago on RU-vid, but your short breakdown on his life is much better. You never disappoint. Keep killing it bro.

Tragic how things ended for this guy he had so much potential.

Someone in his family needs to find the strength to refile that lawsuit against Pelican Bay Prison. The guards didn’t see him for two days no matter what that is gross negligence. Call Ben Crump.

He was sooo handsome before all the crazy stuff started sad RIP

I’m still not sold that he committed that murder - i read the court case in full and actual reports. Even the victim who survived for only a few weeks, said Lloyd was not the shooter and the witness accounts did not describe Lloyd. There was not enough evidence to sentence him. The beautiful thing is, he turned his life around and gave it back to Christ. I wish he was still here.

Wow! I’ve learned so much about LLoyd Avery I did not know and I am so happy to know he rededicated his life back to Christ before his passing. And I hope his family finds the peace and justice for his wrongful death.

I finally found Lloyd’s story! Thanks for re-uploading this Bruh! Man that backstory is something messed 🆙 Grew up in black Beverly Hills and had a successful career, then threw it all the way for gang life. Totally sad.

Such a sad case. Ain't nothing life worse than wasted talent. Was given an opportunity to make great money, but threw all away over a gangsta lifestyle!!

Something in his eyes makes me feel like he was tormented and empty even in his child pics

This is a sad story but I'm glad that you told this young man's life story. I'm glad that he did change his life at the end.

He had amazing eyes but I noticed he never smiled. He looked empty. RIP to Lloyd Avery

I can't even imagine how his parents and brother must feel.

A rich family and a career in Hollywood,.he blew it all. It makes no sense to me

His eyes were INTENSE.

This was put together very well. Thank you for sharing this. I never knew what happened to him it really was tragic.

This story always makes me sad. Thank you for putting such effort into this video as I’ve always wondered about the home Lloyd came from. It’s such a shame he couldn’t be reached. 🙏🏾

You did phenomenal! phenomenal work speaking on Lloyd Avery! It’s unfortunate what happened…. Mental health matters y’all. All Praises to TMH he found his path before his demise. “ You Reap What You Sow” frfr‼️

This is an amazing illustration of life imitating art, as the title says. Both he and his fans confused the gangster character with the real person. It's just one of countless examples of how stories and characters do influence reality, no matter how much some people may deny it.

RIP if he ain’t wanna go back into acting he could’ve went into modeling and cleaned up,posing for Gucci, Prada,Versace,YSL FUBU etc. dude had so much potential. Great breakdown btw bro

He change his life around and his cell mate killed him so sad😭

I love the way you methodically, but eloquently speak with such emphasis on each word!

Great video.. that was definitely something I did not know about Loyd avery.. blows my mind.. great story telling as well..

Thank you I really appreciate you taking your time and digging deep into the lives of those who we often wonder about or want to know where are they now.. please do more.

I hope I don't offend anyone by saying this but Lloyd Avery Marlin Santana and Lamont Bentley don't got any business being dead these are three actors that got the what if Factor if they were around

Love the way you explained this on You Tube, so calm and humble 🤗 Much Love to you 💙

This was a crazy story bro the fact that soon as he got his life together and got right with God they put a devil worshipper in his cell that not only kills him but preforms a satanic ritual on him is beyond coincidental

That water will dim the brightest stars. RIP to Lloyd, and healing energy to anybody fighting addiction

Such a heartbreaking case!! Love your commentary! ❤️

Really incredible breakdown of Lloyd’s story. Thank you for doing this❤

Looking at the videos on your channel and maaan! You have done good ones I'm looking forward to binge watching. You don't pick the same people everyone else does stories, yet you still pick interesting people that will definitely catch your attention. You earned a new subscriber.

Rapper Cassanova grew up in a rich family in NYC like Lloyd. Chose to leave a nice home with both educated parents to hang in the hood and commit crimes. A lot of people are Clarence from 8 Mike but want to be gangsta.

You did a great great Job at telling this mans story greatly appreciated rip Lloyd Avery RipJohn singleton bless n love ❤️ ⚡️📝

That shot of him hanging out the car with the gun is iconic.

Fantastic job. Excellent telling of a tragic story, well done

There is nothing more epic than Boyz in the Hood. Much love to the entire cast, and the great artist that made the movie historical. It's sad to hear how some people's lives ended. Sad! Much love to John Singleton a man of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated (RIP).

Thanks so much for posting this! ♥️

I love the way u narrated this. Great job!!

You do great work. I know it takes some time to make these videos. I appreciate what you do for us.❤️

Thank you for digging into his story more. Tragic story with an even more tragic ending for sure

He literally tried to turn his life into a movie,his ending is so tragic....

This is so incredibly sad! I remember having the biggest crush on him…Not because of the characters he played, but just how kind his eyes were and how innocent he looked despite the characters he played. 😔 Rest well!

Thanks for this documentary…. This was very detailed.

His story is very fascinating but also sad.I’ve seen a lot of people male and female who had good upbringings be fascinated by the hood and ghetto stuff. That knucklehead role went to his head and he liked the excitement that’s why he went from being shy to gang banger sounds crazy right smh. I wonder if his dad don’t down him and supported him wanting to produce would he went to that lifestyle AND it’s common for jails/prisons to put opposites together they always put guys from 2 different gangs together BUT I think Lloyd was set up to be killed because yes why put a Christian and a satanist together especially since that satanic was kept away from people and when placed with somebody he killed him. Yeah those people are that evil to over religion but I think maybe somebody was related to one of the victims and wanted Lloyd dead for revenge. We’ll never know why this happened. Very sad story rip to him

I read about this some months back. Glad u did this story cause you told a lot of stuff that i didnt know about him.

Damn, well done telling his story. I kinda feel like I really knew him at this point. Poor guy….rest in peace

This is a really sad story, but also a very excellent one. I’ve seen boyz n the hood multiple times but never knew this. Keep making good videos like this one 💯💯🔥

Dude's brother @ 7:29 looks like he could be either Eazy E or Ice Cube's son 😂 😂 😂

It’s a sad way he went out, but I’m glad he got saved before his demise… rip L. Avery & great content as always sir! ❤️

I’m 5 mins in, and I’m already impressed! Great job on this documentary. And this is not the 1st Lloyd Avery 2 doc I’ve seen. But this is well done.

man this documentary was A GREAT ONE, like the Wayne Perry story. great job fam👏👏👏

King you never fail me another great video and I love your voice ❤️

Great documentary...well spoken and informative. Keep them coming.

Crazy thing is this was my serious boyfriend when I moved to LA in 1992 ❤ We broke up before all of this happened so I don’t know this person. Love ya Lloyd 😊 He helped me so much with my career, we both produced music. I had a small role in a movie too

It’s so interesting that in almost every instance of aggression, he exhibited extreme violence towards women.. it’s very telling he wanted to portray false strength and felt insecure in being able to live up to a powerful character people saw him as. He was violent to those weaker, so that he couldn’t lose

I remember the first time I seen him in Boyz N Da Hood and Poetic Justice and I knew just from his cold eyes he was about that life.

He lived a fast wild crazy short life RIP young brother 🙏

You did this very well bro. A lot of actors get caught in character...some talk about it but most don't. You have to keep a strong mind. I think I heard the guy who played in the show Taxi also took his character home with him. #mentalhealth

You broke downnn his story. Thank you so much for this. I have always found his story fascinating but I never knew he converted back to Christianity from jail. Wow.

Lloyd came from a good life. I don't understand why he would want to take a different route like that in life. I understand he wanted to discover the gangsta life because of the roles he played. It's one of those things when you play a character in a movie it's not real it's a role that you are playing of a character. I feel like maybe he wanted to be bad and wanted it to be real and it became real. I feel like those characters went to his head. I guess he got tired of being good and really wanted to be about that life.

You are such a great storyteller great content 👏 👌 👍 ❤

Informative, well put together documentary💯

Man this was 1 the best narrations I ever watched!! Appreciate this Bro, new Sub!!💯

If I was rich I would do a movie on Lloyd Avery he has a crazy interesting story

This is slight example of the "Looking for Mr.Goodbar" uninteresting dull life by day, daring exciting, adventurous by night. He grew up advantaged and now wanted to see what the other side was like. He got more than he bargained for wanting to be a gang banger and it cost him his life. Dude had the looks, talent, charisma and threw it all away just to gain a reputation.

Love the Channel...im a big fan of most everything in documentary format so I really love these videos!!! Keep up the great work and I just subscribed and hit the 👍

wow! i found out like 5+yrs ago about Lloyd via IMDB trivia on Boyz n the Hood. but i never knew the rest of his story(ex: the mexico part) . great video! you definitely took a lot of time and energy carefully researching! :)

You did it again bro great video keep em coming 👌

Never knew his story was so intense 😳

wow what an interesting story. well told. thankyou

Great Video and well presented Thank You !

This whole thing just left me speechless bro!

Great job with breaking down the details, thanks for this!

This is so sad and very hurtful to hear. I'm from Los Angeles and gangs run that city. Sherm heads and gangs are one in the same. I feel so blessed to escape that wicked place with my child. I've never looked back either! Acting comes with spirits, so many actors fall to split personalities after doing these roles... Sad indedd

The spirit of these gangster roles really take over people sometimes… I remember hearing the same theory about Tupac. People believe that once he took that Bishop role in juice, he never really turned it off

Dope channel 🔥🔥🔥 the detail is everything

Long live Lloyd Avery Jr. Gone way too soon and way too talented

WOW!!!!!, so so sad. His story was told very, very well, maybe one day his story will be a movie. Thank you .

Great breakdown r.i.p Lloyd Avery so talented gone too soon 💯

Wish you would get your own television show because your details are 2nd to none. Truly empecable. You really breakdown accurate details man. Salute to you and keep doing your thing.

Just wanted to say this was very well done and it would be nice to see his story told on the big screen one day if it can be told in a way that will not disrespect the family's privacy or divulge too much personal info. It's so hard for me to watch these videos because this is my family but just wanted to commend you on the breakdown of his life and his struggles. I would definitely say your version is much more accurate than a previous video that was done by another RU-vidr. I still don't understand why the jail would put a devout Christian in a cell with a satanist who even said he would kill anyone they put in is cell, that's why he was in a cell alone for 15-17 years, Lloyd was his first celly, they knew exactly what they were doing by placing my cousin in there with that monster. Also they couldn't explain why the cameras were erased or why in all the 11 counts and standing counts a dead body was overlooked for over 2 days. Inmates claimed to hear my cousin screaming for his life after they say several COs went into his cell and beat him up. I also heard that the female victim was the mother of an OG crip and he had inside ties and had Lloyd killed. I also heard about a script Lloyd wrote that implicated CO's. I also heard they only removed his body because the guys complained of the smell, just shameful. We may never know the truth, so many conspiracy theories. Evidence (shell casings) that could have helped his innocence went missing from police locker. The witnesses that got Lloyd convicted even later recanted their stories, so it's possible my cousin truly was innocent. Lloyd was very loved and well respected by his peers, by his family and in prison and didn't deserve to go out like that but he's in heaven riding his bike right now smiling, knowing that we will see him again one day, gives me so much joy. I'm so proud that he turned his life around in prison and lead bible studies. I also want to give my sincere condolences to families of the victims Annette and Percy and pray we can all heal. It's so hard to read people saying mean things like "this was his karma," without knowing the entire story, I don't know if he was guilty or innocent but innocent people do get convicted all the time and while in prison he repented of all his sins and truly loved the Lord. What I do know is that he was a very sweet, loving, funny guy that loved to ride his bike, and pull pranks, he was also one hell of an actor, we love you Lloyd! xoxo Dee

This story deserves its own movie and you should do the voiceover.

I love all of your vids. Great commentary, background music, and overall well put together and entertaining.

Thank you for the informative upload. Glad I subscribed to your channel ✊🏾

Great video my boi 💪

I mean. I can’t blame him. Power is probably one of the most dangerous things to obtain. He obtained his power of fear, something he was never used too, through acting he discover a sinister side to himself, and he liked it. The power.

It's amazing that you can come from money and still go rogue.

I thought I seen this from you already but its still a good documentary👍🏾💙

So sad he was hot too let's you know we all have choices...proof right here... just because someone was raised in a good home 🏡... doesn't mean they're gonna turn out good.... and just because someone grows up in the hood or trashy environment doesn't mean they'll be bad... this is a prime example IJS 🙌🏾

Thank you for your content!

Happy birthday Lloyd Avery, may you R.I.P❤

They should turn his life into a small movie
