Juvenile had a daughter, Jelani, with Joy Deleston. On February 29, 2008, four-year-old Jelani was shot and killed in her home, along with mother Deleston and older half sister. It was reported that Deleston's oldest child, 17-year-old son Anthony Tyrone Terrell Jr., returned to the home after police arrived and implicated himself in the murder of his mother and siblings. Terrell was charged with three counts of murder and three counts of aggravated assault. He remains in the [[DeKalb County, Georgia|DeKalb County]] jail.
