Yesterday, officials in Union County said Kai, whose real name Caleb Lawrence McGillvary, is wanted in the bludgeoning death of a North Jersey attorney. Kai, 24, is also known as Kai Lawrence, Caleb Kai Lawrence and Kai Nicodemus He is considered armed and dangerous. Kai allegedly met the attorney in New York City near Times Square. A surveillance camera captured images of their encounter.

The men later went back to the older man's house, officials said. In a post made on Tuesday to his Facebook page, Kai claims he was raped: "what would you do if you woke up with a groggy head, metallic taste in your mouth, in a strangers house... walked to the mirror and seen ... dripping from the side of your face from your mouth, and started wretching, realizing that someone had drugged, raped...? what would you do? "



Attorney Joseph Galfy was found unresponsive on Monday in his Clark, NJ, home. An autopsy revealed he died of blunt force trauma, according to the Union County Prosecutor’s office. In an effort to avoid detection, officials said, Kai has cut his hair. He also sports a recently acquired facial tattoo.
