Greene crashed into the shed of the home after being shot and succumbed to his injuries days later, the outlet reported. <\/p>\n

Greene\u2019s mother announced the entrepreneur\u2019s death over his company\u2019s Instagram account on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe never imagined Breezy not being here with us. Born Aubrie and in 17 years became a legend in our city King Breezy(CEO) Breezy we miss you so much and there\u2019s many questions as of why,\u201d Ceydria McCray wrote in a tribute.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I promise you one thing we had you then and we have you now. One can not destroy the legacy you created. Life without you have all of us feeling so strange with questions. But I do know the place you\u2019re at your dimples are still showing and the love you\u2019re getting is beyond me. God got you kid,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBreezy loved what he created and hustled harder then any other I know. So this isn\u2019t a loss, this is only the beginning of what\u2019s next,\u201d the grieving mother said. \u201cNow Breezy watch over your brothers and sisters to the top. Breezy\u2019s Lemonade will go because our job isn\u2019t done. Dare to be different Dream bigger than your age and keep all lanes clear to it.- Aubrie I love you so much. And I\u2019m so proud of you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greene began his lemonade business in June 2019, when he was 11 years old, to help out his brother who was selling \u201ccuisine\u201d at an event without any beverages, the company\u2019s bio reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Breezzy\u2019s\u00a0world my lemons are hand rolled individually to gather all its juices. I\u2019ve taken on my challenges in life and\u00a0 I\u2019m determined to prove to myself that with hard work and dedication I can put all my ideas into a vision and created greatness,\u201d Greene wrote.<\/p>\n

Following his early rollout, Greene began selling three flavors of his lemonade at the Market on 25th in Richmond\u2019s East End neighborhood, according to WTVR.<\/p>\n

Demand for the bottled drinks rose in 2022 following the COVID pandemic, which led Greene to create 10 different flavors and had begun to expand into herbal teas, mugs, hats and t-shirts.<\/p>\n

The booming business led to the creation of a lemon-headed mascot and a red, mobile trailer Greene used to sell his products, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n

The teen graduated from Richmond Public School\u2019s Huguenot High School on May 26, with the lemonade business congratulating its CEO for the achievement.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur creator and founder graduated today,\u201d the Instagram post read. \u201cBreezzy the sky is the limit and it\u2019s only up from here.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

No arrests have been made in the deadly shooting as McCray called on witnesses to help the investigation into her son\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ask that anyone who has information, no matter how small it may seem, please come forward and cooperate with investigators,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
