TikTok star Rory Teasley’s last post was about getting old before boyfriend killed him
Rory Teasley, more famous as 2pump4tv due to his social media pages, had shared a light-hearted video on his TikTok account the day he was allegedly killed by his boyfriend. Teasley was 28 when he was found unconscious by cops inside an apartment in Pontiac, Michigan last Thursday night, January 6. Docquen Jovo Watkins reportedly choked him to death over a video game argument. The social media influencer was declared dead at a hospital after being taken there by the cops.
After Teasley's death, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said, “We see far too often across the country these days when people resort to violence over trivial and insignificant disagreements. There is never a reason where violence is acceptable over a disagreement. Those who do so will be held accountable.”
