Saiveon Hopkins, professionally known as Jay Hefner, was in Lincoln, Nebraska when he became the target of a violent act. While protecting his cousin from a fatal attack, Jay Hefner lost his life, leaving behind his family grieving.
According to news reports, Hefner arrived in the neighborhood from Ontario, Canada, to celebrate a loved one’s birthday, but everything ended within the blink of an eye.
The tragic incident involving the 24-year-old star occurred around 1:30 am on September 8, 2024, and soon after, Nebraska officers were informed about the incident. The officers immediately arrived at the spot and found two men with firearm wounds and took them to the nearest hospital.
Despite providing emergency measures, Hefner’s condition didn’t stabilize, and he took his last breath at 5:37 AM. Initially, the authorities had concealed his identity for legal reasons.
Later, his family recognized him as the victim of the firearm incident and launched a GoFundMe page to collect funds from his followers to conduct his final rituals.
In the message written by Kyra Miller, the organizer of the fundraiser, she states that Hefner leaves behind his 10-month-old daughter, girlfriend Madeline Murchison, his siblings, and his terminally ill mother, who depended on his OF career.
Madeline Murchison shared a heartfelt post for him, reminiscing their favorite moments together!
The news about Hefner’s demise shocked many, including his girlfriend, who broke down when she received a call from the film star’s mother.
Likewise, Murchison revealed that she had so much planned with Hefner, implying that they were planning for their marriage in the coming years as they had been together for several years.
She posted a series of pictures on her Instagram with the caption, “I could go on and on, but there are absolutely no words that can explain the love I have for you, but you know what it was about us. Rest up I’ll make sure your never forgotten. Forever us.“

Meanwhile, his fans appear to be in shock, knowing that Hefner has been executed, and many are expressing their grief. One Twitter user recently tweeted, “Rest in peace, Jay. It was always super cool and had tons of potential beyond adult film. This is terrible.“
Others, on the other hand, claimed that the star hadn’t passed away due to his recent Twitter activity—his last tweet was five hours ago. However, the company automated such tweets when someone bought his explicit content.
During this challenging time, Hefner’s family has pleaded with the fans to respect their boundaries as they deal with the immeasurable grief of losing a loving family member who had his whole life ahead of him.

- The perpetrator is still on the loose, and the Lincoln Police Department (LPD) has alerted the locals to identify and report if they encounter the attacker.
- According to sources, Hefner’s estimated net worth is $1 million, based on his career in the medical and entertainment industry.
