St Louis rapper accused of murdering his grandparents and then walking into a psych ward covered in blood
A St. Louis rapper was arrested after he walked into a psychiatric ward covered in blood and claimed he was God after his grandparents were found murdered in their home.
Davionne McRoberts, 25, of Troy, Missouri, who performs professionally as Woozy the Goat, is being held in a psychiatric ward after turning herself in on Wednesday. Double murder charges are expected to be filed against her later today.
Troy police were searching for him after his grandparents Donald McRoberts, 71, and Kathy Chatman McRoberts, 58, were found dead in their Eames Street home Tuesday night. His cause of death is unknown.
Just days before the alleged murders, McRoberts claimed he was ‘God’ on Facebook and showed up at a relative’s house to claim him again.
“He knocked on my door and said, ‘It’s God,'” Donald’s sister Pamela McRoberts told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “He was talking about how he was God and we were all going to die. He said, “I’m going to rewrite the Bible,” and that it would all be revealed at the next family gathering. Once he was done walking and crying and jumping up and down, he was gone.
‘When he left my house, I called my brother. He said: “he is not speaking well”.

Pamela claimed that her brother, an Army veteran, dismissed the behavior, saying that McRoberts was “going to die before me” and that he “wasn’t worried at all.”
However, McRoberts’ Facebook page was littered with unhinged posts, where he posted his unfiltered thoughts just days before the alleged murder.
In a post on Saturday, he wrote: ‘WHO WANTS TO DIE TODAY? They do not believe? Come show me I’m not God.
On another from that day, he wrote: “I KNOW I KNOW, MY EARS ARE RINGING, IT’S ALMOST TIME BUT NOT YET.”
On Sunday, just two days before the murders, he jumped in to say: ‘Hey, I’m really God for real, I’m trying to help you all, but I made a deal, you too (sic) comfortable in hell… YES GOD WILL CALL YOU, WOULD YOU PICK HIM UP? FUCK NO, EVERYONE IS IGNORING ME AND I’M DOING MY BEST TO SHOW EVERYONE PLEASE HELP ME SHOW EVERYONE.’
McRoberts had been posting unhinged posts on Facebook before the alleged murders, where he claimed to be God and said that “his ears are ringing, it’s almost time, but not yet.”
In other posts, the rapper claimed that the “government has lied to you” and “there are no accidents,” and that a relative abused him as a child.
Police found Donald and Kathy inside their home after a granddaughter called for a “wellness check” after they were unable to reach the couple.
Shortly thereafter a manhunt for McRoberts was secured and police deployed drones to search the area and posted his photo for the public to help find him. On Wednesday, a psychiatric ward contacted police to say he had checked in, Lincoln County Attorney Michael Wood told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Authorities believe McRoberts suffered a mental breakdown. Pamela told the Post-Dispatch that she didn’t think anyone encouraged McRoberts to seek help before registering.
A childhood best friend, who met McRoberts online while playing Call of Duty, said he spoke to the musician three weeks before the murders and said he “actually spoke to him” about the Facebook posts.
It seems to be fine. She said she was fine,’ Estevon Magana, of Utah, told the Post-Dispatch.
Donald’s sister, Pamela, warned him about the McRoberts’ rebellious behavior after he showed up at his door saying they were all going to die. Donald (left, with his wife) called it off and said he wasn’t worried about it.

Pamela said she remembered meeting Kathy 20 years ago when they worked as housekeepers at a hotel in St. Charles. Years later, her brother would ask for Kathy’s phone number and they would start dating and later get married in 2017.

“They were the most beautiful people you would want to meet,” she told the Post-Dispatch.
Donald, who was called ‘Mack’ by everyone, was a former military police officer, of whom Pamela said she was ‘very proud’.
The investigation into their deaths is still ongoing.

His song Durk Flow has been played more than 143,000 times as of Wednesday, according to Post-Dispatch.
