Hannah Daughtry's death 'was HOMICIDE' cops tell American Idol's Chris Daughtry & his wife after their daughter's death

CHRIS Daughtry's family have been informed that his stepdaughter Hannah's death was a homicide, according to new reports.

The singer's 25-year-old stepdaughter was found dead in her Nashville home by law enforcement officers on Friday.



On Saturday detectives informed Daughtry and his wife Deanna that Hannah's passing was due to homicide, according to TMZ.

The site also reports that Hannah's boyfriend Bobby Jolly was arrested on Friday, the same day Hannah's body was found.

However, authorities have not said whether Jolly's arrest was related to Hannah's homicide.

"I am still processing the last 24 hours. I am absolutely devastated and heartbroken. Thank you all for your kind words and condolences," said Daughtry on Saturday.

"They are truly felt and appreciated. I will be taking a break from social media to be present with my family as we attempt to heal from this devastating loss.

"Hannah. I love you. I miss you. I wish I could hold you. This hurts so deeply," added Daughtry.

Earlier on Saturday, Daughtry's wife Deanna revealed on Instagram that "the family is awaiting the autopsy results to determine how Hannah sustained the injuries that caused her death."

Hannah's troubled last years seem to have been filled with violence and tragedy, as reported by the New York Post.

Her biological father Randall Scott Price died from suicide in March 2018.

Months later Hannah, who reportedly has two children, was allegedly shot in the face as she was caught in a run-in with gang members in Tennessee.

According to Hannah's social media, she needed surgery and was given a prosthetic eye after being shot.

Hannah set up a GoFundMe on October, 2018, after the incident.

She wrote: “Hi I am Hannah Price and I am raising money for my medical bills.

“I was airlifted after being shot in Humboldt TN Oct 12 2018 and had emergency surgery. I’m also raising money to pay for my next surgery. I do have insurance so it covers most of it but I have an out-of-pocket pay about $120.

I totaled my car whenever I was shot trying to save my friend so I also need to save money to get a new vehicle so that I can start working again.”

Additionally, Hannah and a man were arrested in April in a hit-and-run accident in Tennessee.

The man was Hannah's boyfriend Bobby Jolly, according to ABC6.

According to police reports, Bobby allegedly shot at another car in an apparent road rage incident. They were both charged with aggravated assault.

Daughtry was in the middle of his Dearly Beloved Tour but has now flown to Nashville, Tennessee, to be with his grieving family.

Hannah and her younger brother, Griffin, 23, are Deanna’s children from a previous relationship.

The singer and Deanna also have twins Adalynn Rose and Noah James, 10.

Daughtry got his start on the well-known show American Idol in 2006, when the original judges heard out the singers.

He came in fourth place in the singing competition and has since made a name for himself on the country stage.
