Eighteen months later and Chrisean Rock’s ex-boyfriend Karon “Ronny Doe” Cann’s murder remains unsolved—but cops say the case is far from dead.
The 2025 murder of Chrisean Rock’s ex-boyfriend Karon “Ronny Doe” Cann remains unsolved, but police tell TMZ the investigation is still active as detectives continue working to identify and catch the killer. Justin Mulcahy, a rep for the Anne Arundel County Police Department in Maryland, told TMZ Monday night: “We can confirm that it is an open and active investigation; however, we are unable to provide any additional details.” Not exactly the closure you want, but at least the door’s still open.
Here’s the timeline that matters: Karon “Ronny Doe” Cann, the 24-year-old ex-boyfriend of Chrisean Rock, tragically died after being shot on February 3rd in Severn, Maryland. Authorities have confirmed his death as a homicide, noting that the shooting was a targeted act. The 25-minute drive from Baltimore made it just close enough to be part of the culture’s sphere, just far enough to get overlooked. Police in Anne Arundel County responded to a call from a home in Severn, a suburb about 25 minutes outside of Baltimore. They found Cann lying outside the residence and immediately provided medical aid before transporting him to the University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center. Despite life-saving efforts, he was later pronounced dead from his gunshot wounds.
But here’s what made Ronny a name anyone in the culture knew: the paternity chess match that defined his final months. Before his death, Karon publicly claimed he was the father of Chrisean’s son, Chrisean, Jr. She has always insisted Blueface was the father, despite the rapper denying the allegations. This wasn’t some quiet back-and-forth. In October 2024, Ronny Doe took to Instagram and first made claims about being the biological father of Chrisean and Blueface’s son. In the video, Doe even claimed that he had enough evidence against Rock and further asked her to get a DNA test done for her child. He wasn’t backing down either—on November 29, 2024, the situation got worse when Doe approached Rock while she was at a mall. The confrontation allegedly got so heated that police had to be called. Chrisean was with her infant son when Doe confronted her and flashed the phone in the kid’s face. Meanwhile, Rock attempted to cover her child’s face.
Two months later he was dead. The streets connected the dots fast—whether justified or not—and the noise around it never really stopped. Chrisean Rock sparked controversy after posting her son’s paternity test results on February 5, just days after the tragic death of her ex-boyfriend, Karon “Ronny Doe” Cann. The results, dated from 2023, confirm that incarcerated rapper Blueface is the biological father of her child, Chrisean Jesus Porter. However, 24-year-old Rock’s decision to share the paternity test results through her son’s Instagram account, ‘@chriseanjesus,’ has drawn backlash. The timing—dropping those results days after his death—is the kind of move that makes you wonder what game’s really being played. Then came March 2026: Blueface posted a message on X Thursday night, insisting “Jr is not my biological son RIP to his father Ronnie.” The man had just flipped the entire narrative, and suddenly everyone’s looking at Chrisean again.
That’s the real story here—not just an unsolved murder, but a case where the principal players keep rewriting who’s who and what’s what. Ronny wanted his shot at fatherhood. Chrisean and Blueface fought over custody and biology like it was a court case. And 18 months later, the only person who can’t speak is the one who started the whole thing.
The 16BARS take: An open investigation is better than a closed one, but the real investigation the culture wants is into why nobody’s been arrested yet—and what Blueface really knows.
