A budding rapper cannot get to see his dream become true full-fledged. While Ethan Reyes aka Notti Osama was already starting to make it known out there that he's a talented rapper, he was stabbed to death before anything concrete can happen. He is just 14.
The 14-year-old boy was tragically stabbed over the weekend during an alleged argument with a detained 15-year-old in a New York City train station, the New York Post reported.
Ethan Reyes, a would-be drill rapper who went by the name Notti Osama, was apparently involved in a feud with the boy suspected of murdering him. On Saturday at approximately 3 p.m., a brawl between the two parties broke out and spread to the 137th Street/City College subway station.
According to sources close to the NYPD, Reyes was pushed by the unidentified adolescent onto the train tracks during their altercation. Reyes was ultimately stabbed and attempted to flee, but slumped on the stairs. Officers observed him hemorrhaging from the abdomen and took him to a local hospital, where he was subsequently pronounced dead.

The guy was detained and charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon on Sunday. Due of his age, his identity will not be disclosed publicly.
It is unclear how exactly the teen argument began.
"We thank NYPD detectives, with whom we cooperated, for the rapid arrest of a suspect," MTA NYC transit president Richard Davey said in a statement. "That he and the victim are said to have known each other further underscores the senseless nature of this tragic incident."
Police discovered a knife and broomstick at the incident, and MTA security tape offered "clear photographs" of everyone there, according to officials.
According to sources, police identified the alleged attacker using camera footage.
The NYPD identified the victim as Reyes on Sunday. His family had just moved into their Yonkers residence in May, according to neighbors who spoke to The Post.
According to police sources, Reyes's brother is also a rapper. A couple that lives a few homes away reported hearing loud music frequently, especially late at night and early in the morning.
The pair stated that they have phoned the police's non-emergency number, and another neighbor has also called multiple times to report noise disturbances.
