The Story Of Lloyd Avery II 

Who keeps seeing this in their recommended and finally gave it a chance💀

Poor Kid: I wish I was rich, then I wouldn't have to prove myself to anyone. Rich Kid: I wish I had real struggles, so I can prove myself to everyone.

He didn't have to say a word holding that shotgun. His eyes said everything. A very dramatic scene that was perfectly cast. Unbelievable what transpired in his short life.

I was locked up with Lloyd in la County jail state module we were in a 6 man cell together, Lloyd became a very dedicated follower of Jesus Christ. He would lead the prayer call on the tier n sing out in worship. We shared many endless conversations together about life, God, family. R.i.p. Lloyd.

Crazy how he became what he acted. Then reformed his life.

Rest In Peace to my cousin Lexie Bigham (boyzNdahood) he’s the actor with the Durag & sweatpants who gives the kids backs his football

Lloyd’s story always gives me chills. It’s such a shame he threw his life away for a gang life he never grew up in. He could have been an amazing actor, but he sucked himself into a dangerous life, and ended up serving life in prison (rightfully so). His death was so horrific, how body guards couldn’t find his body for 2 days is beyond me, a gross misconduct on their part. His family should have filed a lawsuit against the prison. RIP🙏🏾

That look in his eyes was no act even in the movie he was a savage

A kid from beverly hills started acting and forgot he was acting

Bruh... he went to Beverly Hills high school... and played water polo and baseball... then became a gangster from playing one in movies... who would have thought...

Dedrick D. Gobert (DOOKIE) (The dude who was suckin on the binky) died in 1994. He was shot in a gang fight. Lloyd Avery II (The actual one to shoot Ricky) died in 2005, beaten to death in prison on a life charge for homicide Lexie Bigham (The guy in the beginning who gave the youngins their football back) died in 1995 from a car accident John Singleton (directed and played a brief role as a mailman in the movie) passed in 2019 from a stroke. R.I.P 💔 and thank you for helping make one of the best movies out here.

Man, you did a dope job narrating this. This gave me chills also.

The ironic thing about it all is his life could be a movie...

You can tell by the look in his eye he wasn't acting

"Lloyd's body was taken to the infirmary. CPR was administered for 10 minutes, but Lloyd's body was already decomposing..." I guess they can't tell, by just looking at his rotting body, if he's still alive or dead. But whoever did the CPR sure got an iron stomach.

I’m glad Lloyd found Christ before he was gone 🙏🏽

bro HOOD POLITICS is wayyy too slept on i love this channel

I always thought he was the gangster version of Chris Tucker

Such a tragic end to someone who had so much promise. It goes to show that the paths we choose in life are what shape our ending. I remember seeing this young man in film and I too thought he had a promising career ahead of him. Sad...this is just sad.

2:35 it’s crazy that one immature outburst would cost him his career. He made the mistake of cutting off his connections and the people who helped him get that fame he had for a laugh from the audience that was at that premiere. Even if he personally didn’t like the movie,had he just thought for a sec and kept his mouth shut, I truly believe he would of been a bigger star and would still be alive to this day

pops wasn't lying about learning a trade. everything can dry up, but folks will always need a plumber or an electrician

This story is so eerie and always gives me chills. A movie should be made about his life.

Ricky’s death is still the most traumatic moment in the history of Black cinema.

Just from the history of Lloyd and Tupac, as an actor, once you do such a menacing role, you should do or try to do a role in the totally opposite direction to balance out so you don't become typecast or even start to believe you're that character.

Damn watching Boyz N the Hood will never be the same after this.

Lloyd desperately needed a friend to slap the hell out of him.

Just found this channel today, thank-you for telling these critical (albeit heartbreaking), stories! They need to be told & shared so that we can learn from them & hopefully avoid history repeating itself. It's so sad what happened to Lou & his brother. You'd think the movie would have taught him about the realities of that life but obviously it's not that simple. Just heartbreaking for all involved, tbh

this is the most interesting story I've ever heard. This should be made into a movie

Dam cuz, his life was a movie! Clout is one hell of a drug! Can’t get over he went to Beverly Hills High and ended up in the Jungles.

Man, if someone makes a movie about him, I am definitely watching it.

This video was beautifully made. Standing ovation and applause to you sir!

The eyes don't lie. Those traits were always with in him. It just took the right circumstances to bring it out.

He played his parts to real. He wanted to live and die that life. His eyes said it all.

just in case yall were wondering... Kevin Roby was in prison for kidnapping, raping AND murdering HIS OWN SISTER, that dude shouldve gotten the death sentence

My name is Daniel and I was in pelican bay when this incident happened I went to church the day this happened to Loyd .. he was a true believer in Christ .. he will be in heaven.

Crazy ass story and life literally took the movie role to heart.

He wanted to be in movies but he didn’t realize he was living a movie

How in the hell can you do a prison headcount and not know a prisoner is missing!?!!!

Damn I didn’t even know he was was deceased. It sound like he started to struggle with identity

Man, living with one foot in the movies and another in the reality that the movies are about. Larger than life kind of a guy. RIP

I’m still stuck on how they didn’t find his body for two days & did 11 counts that don’t add up

He never said a word in Boyz N The Hood but he had one of the most memorable moments in the movie. He just had a certain look about him that made him seem hardcore that's why he stood out. But it's sad that he actually started being a thug because he seemed like a very talented guy but the streets are very tempting even though the outcome is prison or death!!

I remember these videos were all I watched a few years ago, I still be coming back here 💨

We need more of these! Look at the views after only a year. They’re all so good

Honestly his story could be a movie

Ever since I saw "Boyz In the Hood" i could never forget his face with that shot gun out the window and didn't even say a word..He had potential to be a great actor...

Bring these stories back my man..love listening to you tell them

WONDERFUL SEGMENT! IM UPSET HE PASSED AWAY… I CAN SEE HIM WINNING HIS THIRD APEAL AND COMING OUT TO BE IN ONE OF THE 50 SHOWS ON STARS .. REST IN PEACE ❤️

Damn What a story. What got me was out of everything dude got killed over religion. Karma is real guys. R.i.p.

If he's only ever remembered for shooting Ricky, that scene alone was epic.

He tells the best hood stories where you go man

RIP Mr. Lloyd Avery II. God rest your humble and beautiful soul.

"So You Wanna Be A Gangster" Brought to real life. Damn.

You know the saddest thing in life? Wasted talent.

Love boys in the hood no matter how many times u watch its always sad to see Ricky die. The cries and the music really goes well. What a movie!!

Didn’t even know this story happened. If it weren’t for RU-vid and the people making the content, we probably would never know. Good stuff!

This dudes face was so memorable. he looked like a ball of crazy, exciting energy.

also shows you that you can give your child any and everything but they’re still going to choose their own route because they’re their own person

Wow this is very tragic and I always wondered what happened to him. RIP Mr.Lloyd Avery.

This channel is actually the best..accurate hood history 🙏🔥

His character in boys n that hood, got me nervous every time I see a red tainted window car drive by.

At least he found God before he died. RIP Lloyd

BRAVO BRUTHA This was DEEP ! I saw a post on fb with a brief summary of his death so I took to youtube like damn how I never heard of lloyd death this is sad deep on so many levels. I am SUBSCRIBING

Very informative and unfortunate. Young dude on the come up i wish this ended better for him condolences to him and his family.

“So when the devil wanna dance witchu you betta say never ckuz a dance wit the devil will last forever”

That role he played on boys in the hood really went to his head

I remember all this like it was yesterday. I lived on Buckingham and Jefferson went to Dorsey (class of 94) my family are from the Jungles.

Thanks for this episode. Keep it coming. Please someone make this a movie.

While he may have made some costly choices, in the end he still found Jesus! I can’t say if he did the murders or not but I pray he didn't and my heart definitely goes out to the families of the victims Annette Lewis and Percy Branch. I can say that he repented of his sins, and turned his life around, and was very well loved and respected at Pelican Bay. He renounced his LA Duece gang name and that lifestyle. Sadly before his arrest he couldn’t shake the image of the character he portrayed and started living it for-real unfortunately, which later lead to his shortcomings. He is my cousin and I can tell you that he completely 100% devoted his life to God and was actually welcoming to having the satanist as his cellmate because he thought he could get him saved, he truly in the end had a heart for the Lord and even lead bible studies... the Pelican Bay prison chaplain spoke at his funeral and said so. I know that many people go to prison and find God but his deliverance was the real thing! I always knew him to be a very sweet loving person with a good sense of humor that always kiss my forehead, told me he loved me and how beautiful I was, he could be a hot head on rare occasions and made some poor choices with the gangbanging but never once did he strike me as someone that could kill anyone. He came from a very loving family in Hyde Park, a very sweet mother, stern father, beautiful sister and brothers that are both great fathers who have done very well for themselves, we all miss him so very much! I hope one day a movie will be made about him because there is so much more to this story that isn't being told here. Some people on his cell block say several CO's were indeed involved, but we may never know really. I also heard that the female victim was the mother of an OG Crip and that he had inside ties and had it all arranged as payback for her death. So many suspicious things happened that day like the Security footage somehow conveniently erased or how the CO's had no explanation for the 11 missed counts and standing counts for 2 days straight or why they would put a Satanist in the same cell as a Christian especially when that satanist said he would kill anyone they put in his cell. For 17 years Kevin Roby was in a cell alone so why was Lloyd suddenly placed in his cell, was he purposely placed in harms way??? Lloyd later asked to be removed from the cell fearing his safety which went ignored. Family members that investigated were told by a top Pelican Bay prison official to just leave it alone. I wrote a letter to the prison and was told there was a lot more to this story and that I was putting myself in danger and to just let it go, so I did. People on his cellblock also complained about the smell of the body which finally prompted them to remove it, by time family was notified and viewed his body he had been dead for several days and was beaten beyond recognition with injuries so gruesome that lead us to believe there was possibly more to this story than what we were told. While in prison Lloyd wrote a script, a fictional tale about killing an inmate and hiding the body for 2 days.. and then it actually ends up happening to him! It's crazy right..was it manifestation, life imitates art... hard to say but I think it was the script, I believe it got into the wrong hands because he mentioned things actually going on in the prison in the script (i.e. inside corruption, illegal dealings, conspiracies etc.). Trust this rabbit hole goes deep. He was in talks with John Singleton about turning the script into a movie. I was also good friends with John, we spoke often and he still kept contact with my cousin the entire time he was in prison, he wanted to come to the funeral but was on location shooting a movie (Fast & Furious in Miami) at the time, I pray they both rest in peace. I still can't believe they are both gone now.. And to those whom say he got what he deserved for killing 2 people, I say this... I don't know if he was innocent or guilty but there was no real evidence that got him convicted, it was solely based on the 2 witnesses testimony and ironically as fate would have it after he went to jail those very witnesses that got him convicted, well they later recanted their stories, they later admitted that they were paid/threatened etc. coerced to lie. Also evidence was withheld like the testimony of one of the victims before he died saying Lloyd wasn't the killer, evidence also went missing from the police locker and other evidence was found to be tampered with/possibly even planted which lead to the first trial being completely thrown out and he was granted a second trial but his court appointed lawyer sucked and his jury was mostly white, they even showed an enlarged pic of him from that scene in Boyz n the Hood when he's holding the gun to say to the unfamiliar white jury, "look he’s a violent man," without even saying it was just a pic from a movie, so needless to say he didn’t get a fair shot at the 2nd trial at all... and he definitely didn't get treated fairly in prison, he was set up for death the minute they placed him in that cell with the Satanist Kevin Roby, and they knew it. He suffered a painful gruesome horrific death, he fought for his life, he had defensive wounds, he was hit in the head so hard he had a hole in his head, he had bite marks, his eyes black and swollen shut, broken nose, broken ribs and sternum, chest caved as if he was stomped, he was strangled then aspirated essentially drowning in his own blood then striped naked and placed over a pentagram and had a ritual done over his lifeless body, Roby then used his blood to write satanic symbols and spells on the walls.. how disgusting and vile. Lloyd he was such a beautiful man with an even more beautiful soul, gone too soon, oh cousin you definitely didn't deserve for your bright light to be extinguished like that. I wish these tv shows would stop exploiting him to fit their narrative and tell the entire story. Rest well cousin....

I’m starting to believe that what you put out, eventually will come back to you. Even if you changed your life, your past still looms in the atmosphere.

Just found this channel by accident. Love the quality of the content research, keep it up bud. All the best from Liverpool UK.

Damn, I didn't know this happened to him. Thank You for giving light on him and how that prison did him.

His eyes is always stood out to me

Imagine seeing a actor that killed someone in a movie then seeing them do the same thing in real life

Sadly, a lot of young actors get caught up in that gang stuff in L.A. In this case, he didn't get a chance to wake up and see the danger he was living before it was too late.

Finally gave this video a watch after seeing it in my recommended for a long time.. pretty interesting and well told story.

Its eerie and egregious that Lloyd was placed in a cell with a satanic worshipper after changing his life for the better. Makes you think if the guards had something to do with it. Gives me chills.

If he played his cards right he could have been huge. We have to stop with the gang mentality.

Thanks for doing this. What a sad story . Life imitates art.

Thank you for doing this work! Verified and level reporting!

I really wouldn't be surprised if he was bipolar, it sounded like he was struggling with manic behavior. Then again who can tell.

Random fact. My mom was pregnant with me when she seen the movie boys in da hood and decided to name me Trey. Lol I got my name from a 90's hood movie.

Jesus, I had no idea about this. Very sad ending. Great work on the video.

out of all the movies listed in the first 40 seconds, Boyz in da Hood was absolutely one of the most memorable. and I was just a kid. I actually never heard of most of the other ones.

Charles Manson wanted to be w rockstar but after being rejected he turned crazy and formed his cult. Many folks can’t handle rejection.

Jungles sounds like it would of been a classic hood movie damn what a shame

Whats crazy about this story is, several of the actors from Boyz N The Hood have died, including John Singleton. Very sad and scary

God simply called him home, im glad he reformed his life before death😢 RIP LLOYD!

They need to make a movie about Lloyd Avery

Morale of the story : quit tryna be somebody that you are not 🤦🏽‍♂️

An LA beloved. May he rest in power.. with his fine self❤️

Great video brother! I just came across this channel and had to subscribe. I never heard about any of this but I always got a weird vibe from his character in Boys. He kind of has crazy eyes. Boys, Mennace, and South Central were my three favorite hood movies. American Me is great but a little to heavy in the second half. I liked juice but not as much as Boys or Mennace. Think I’ll rewatch one of those today. Cheers brother, thanks for the awesome content!

This gives me chills..and it brought tears to my eyes..something with this just don’t feel right..it hurts strangely

Damn all this time I thought he was alive but just not in the spot light.

Avery will go down in history for his iconic role in Boyz N The Hood. He deserved an Academy Award for that one scene that captivated millions of viewers, in an unforgettable way, forever! May he rest in peace.

Honestly this need to be made a movie to give the youth a understanding of direction

Maybe he was suffering from depression or schizophrenia. Sometimes when an actor portrays a character that character becomes like a demon who influences that person. Thebest actors know that after portraying a dark character, it's important to disassociate from that energy.

Lloyd soul was saved ... He gave his life to Christ before he took his last breath

Love you channel. Was just watching boys in the hood clips and found you 🙌

RIP sir. 🙏 you flew too close to the sun but you are deeply missed.
