Desean Jackson’s Jaccpot-affiliated artist Kid Cali, born Justin Lishey, was shot and killed at a Granada Hills pool party Saturday (August 20) night at about 9 p.m. He was 28 years old and leaves behind a young daughter and had another child on the way.
Two others were also shot in the multi-million dollar neighborhood home and are expected to survive.
The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the tragedy and are trying to figure out who owns the home. The party was allegedly held by Chris Brown‘s ex-OHB friend Kid Red, according to a flyer posted on Kid Cali’s Instagram.
The gunman allegedly shot the Los Angeles-based rapper six times and quickly got away on foot. Kid Cali was taken to the Holy Cross Hospital by ambulance after the pool party guests called 911.
Desean Jackson, Chris Brown, Mozzy, Nipsey Hussle and Snoop Dogg among many other celebrities have tweeted out their support for Kid Cali. He lived a life that affected many people’s lives positively. His unique, grimy-sounding way of rapping made him a stand-out star.
Cali was signed to Washington Redskins wide receiver Desean Jackson’s Jaccpot Records until they eventually parted ways. He’s recorded tracks with Skippa Da Flippa, Kid Red, Nipsey Hussle and Sacramento rap boss Mozzy among others.
“Woke up to some horrible news this morning,” Matt Barnes wrote in an Instagram post. “RIP @kidcali_oso Another father taken over some bullshit!”
“Can’t believe we just had this Convo on yo Cake day 7 days ago & now u gone ..,” Desean Jackson captioned on Instagram. “@kidcali_oso Shit unbelievable come bac bro u 2 good of a homie”
HipHopDX sends its condolences to Kid Cali’s friends and family during this difficult time.

Black lives matter don’t say a word when blacks slaughter one another daily. Hypocrisy
That’s because Soros doesn’t really care about black people. He only wants to destroy the white race.
How? BLM is specifically about police brutality, you know, the people that are supposed to PROTECT and serve, that are killing us without convictions. Black on black crime is another issue entirely that needs fixing but it’s only clowns like you that try to mix them up. It’s two separate problems.
The problem is if there wasn’t a higher rate of crime in black communities compared to other communities, then there wouldn’t be a reason for police to constantly be in black neighborhoods and the interactions between the police and community wouldn’t be so high.
“We can’t change the world unless we change ourselves”
Permanently decreasing crime within the black community will eventually decrease the presence and amount of interactions with the police, which will decrease the likelihood of there being fatal and tragic situations.
Why isn’t Game marching on this? or I guess blacks gunning each other down is normal thing.no big deal smh
.this is y black ppl will never b taken serious, coz of this mad death culture.black terrorism
You must be white saying some dumb ass shit like that. Let me let you in on a lil secret, the people that shot him were criminals who dont abide by the law.. Police are sworn in by law to serve and protect paid by tax payers.. Think before you speak and stay out the hiphop culture speaking on black shit that you have no clue as you bob yo head to this hot as record they dropping back to back.. Fake ass moredicMC.. Yeah you
What’s your point? You clearly missed moresicka’s point.. Now go lick on ya dad’s clit.
shut the fuck hell dumbass, we aren’t speaking on white things or black thing, just on dumb violent thing.Anyone can and should speak against that
It is why cops kill minorities. Fuck you mean. All this preaching on black lives matter. Dont look like it now do it.
