According to the Daily Mirror, Big Lurch stabbed Tynisha Ysais multiple times with a kitchen knife. He then proceeded to open her chest cavity, remove her right lung, and eat it. A coroner later confirmed Ysais also had a broken jaw, eye socket, and neck. The coroner also found the blade of a knife, which was assumed to have been used in the assault, lodged in Ysais’ body near her shoulder. The Los Angeles Times reports detectives also noted there were bite marks on Ysais’ face and liver.

Big Lurch was also examined, as authorities believed he may have consumed parts of Ysais’ corpse. An analysis of his stomach content confirmed their suspicions, and the rap artist was subsequently charged with first-degree murder. During his trial, Big Lurch’s attorney, Milton Grimes, argued that his bizarre and violent behavior was driven by a five-day PCP binge. As reported by Los Angeles Times, Grimes said, “PCP affects the brain to where people go back to their primal state. You can do the acts of a beast … because you don’t have the conscience of a human being, and that’s where this man was when he took this woman’s life.”
