Detroit police are investigating the shooting death of a rapper found Monday on the city’s west side.
The man, identified as
Doughboy Roc, was sitting in his car near an abandoned field outside a house on Stoepel when “somebody shot him,” Second Precinct Capt. John Serda said.
With insightful detective work like that, there's sure to be an arrest!
Monday’s incident is the second fatal shooting in three months involving well-known Detroit rappers.
In July, Dominique Brown and Ramell Campbell, known as Domo Brown and 47 Mell, respectively, were
killed in a drive-by shooting while driving east on Interstate 94 near Livernois.
Police said that killing was the result of an ongoing feud.
Other shootings involving Detroit rappers include:
¦Dex Osama, whose real name was Byron Cox, was killed in September 2015 outside the Crazy Horse strip club in southwest Detroit following a fight over a woman.
¦ King Gordy, who appeared in Eminem’s movie “8 Mile,” was shot five times in February 2013 during a robbery attempt.
¦In April 2006, DeShaun Holton who, as rapper “Proof,” was a member of the Eminem-fronted hip-hop sextet D12, was killed outside the CCC Club on Eight Mile near Gratiot.
¦ Obie Trice, also an Eminem protege, was shot Dec. 31, 2005, while driving on the Lodge Freeway.
¦Darnell Lyndsey, whose stage name was Blade Icewood, was killed in April 2005 in a drive-by shooting, less than a year after another gun attack had left him paralyzed from the chest down.
