 A California rapper -- who's music consisted of death, murder and mutilation -- has been charged with the killing of a pastor, and may face charges in the deaths of three others, said a report from the Associated Press.
On Saturday (September 19), 20-year-old Richard Alden Samuel McCroskey III (who raps under the moniker Syko Sam) was charged with first-degree murder, robbery and grand theft auto the slaying of Mark Niederbrock, a pastor at Walker's Presbyterian Church in Virginia.
He is also expected to be charged with the killings of three others found in the home of a Longwood University professor on Friday (September 18).
McCroskey was taken into custody at the Richmond, Virginia airport on Saturday. He was found sleeping in he baggage area, as he awaited a flight back to Cali.
He is being held at the Piedmont Regional Jail and is due in court on Monday.
On Friday, authorities discovered the bodies of three individuals in the home of Longwood University professor Debra Kelley, 50 miles outside of Richmond.
Niederbrock and Kelley were separated.
The AP reports that police were called to the home on Thursday (September 17) by the parent of a girl who was visiting the couple's daughter. When police checked it out, a man at the house told them the girls were at the movies. When the mother in West Virginia still didn't hear from her daughter on Friday, she asked police to go back. That's when they found the bodies.
Details surrounding the deaths are still unknown.
McCroskey was an aspiring rapper, who's style could be categorized under the "horrorcore" genre. He recorded songs about death, murder and mutilation under the Syko Sam alias.
In one song posted on his MySpace page, called "My Dark Side," he raps about his love for murder: "You're not the first, just to let you know. I've killed many people and I kill them real slow. It's the best feeling, watching their last breath. Stabbing and stabbing till there's nothing left."
McCroskey is expected to be charged with three more murder charges on Monday.
