ATLANTA, GA — Police have released new details regarding the death of admired Atlanta rapper Rich Homie Quan while his father told a local radio station he is "broken into a million pieces."

Father Corey Lamar told the Atlanta-based 94.5's Streetz Morning Takeover that he is "still searching for answers" following his son's death. He told rapper and radio host Yung Joc he is thankful for the encouraging words from the Atlanta community.

"That does help the process, but it's a very difficult situation to lose a child - not only a child, (but) Quan's my best friend," the elder Lamar said in the phone interview.

Corey Lamar said he instilled humility, helpfulness and kindness in his son and taught him to never look down on anyone. He said he told the "Type of Way" rapper that his present choices will shape his future.
