The comedian, influencer, and YouTuber Luis Carlos Junior, known as Júnyork, died last Saturday night (5) at the age of 28 in the United States. The information was confirmed by Luis’ manager, Rafael Cerqueira, and by the youtuber’s friend in the country, Danyara Anastacio.
According to the businessman, Júnyork was standing on the side of a road in the state of Georgia when a truck hit the side of the youtuber’s car. The driver of the vehicle would have slept at the wheel, pointed out Luis Carlos’ team member.
“Júnyork was in front of the car. He probably went out to urinate “, said Rafael, confirming that the youtuber was also hit by the truck.
“Júnyork’s boyfriend, friends, and family are looking to raise some money to help transport his body back to Brazil to ensure he rests in peace. Any remaining funds will be distributed to his family. Any support in this time of need would be greatly appreciated “, reads the text posted on the GoFundMe website.
Júnyork, who has 434k followers on Instagram, used to show details of his life in the US on his social media. A year ago, the youtuber told fans how he managed to become a US citizen.
About a month ago, the young man published a parody on YouTube together with other artists. “Sai Fora de Brasília”, was created in order to alert and remember the promises of politicians in an election year. He used the channel to publicize various content produced by him.
The boy posted videos of dance and humor. Until the last update of this report, his Instagram account had 437,000 followers. Before moving to the US, Júnyork lived in São Sebastião, where his relatives still reside. The boy got American citizenship in 2020.
