Music executive and former Death Row Records VP John C. Atterberry passed away yesterday after suffering gunshot wounds during a shootout on Friday in Hollywood, California.
According to the LA Times, the 40-year-old was driving near Sunset Boulevard and Vine Street when he was shot three times in the face and neck. The gunman, 26-year-old Tyler Brehm, randomly shot at passing cars before cops arrived and shot him.
Following the shooting, Atterberry was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead yesterday at 3 p.m.
Atterberry got his feet wet in the music industry as an A&R for Tabu Records. He served as VP of Death Row Records, and later worked on albums by Michael Jackson, Christina Aguilera, Brandy and more.
karma
Hmm….karma?
thats fucked up i saw the video of the guy just shooting into cars as they drove by him
wow sounds like some getback or a random crazy 90’s crime. what time of day was this?
it was around 10:30am (i live a few blocks away)…the guy walked up the street and randomly started shooting at pedestrians and cars…he was screaming that he wanted to die and there’s speculation that he lost it after a breakup with his girlfriend a few days prior…just a senseless, horrendous, random act of violence. R.I.P.
i’m sure Suge Knight is envolved somehow…LOL
get back to school and learn to spell b4 i pummel ur ass with my dildo!!!
suck a dick faggot. you tell me to learn how to spell then you spell before – b4 and your – ur…fuckin’ hypocrite.
Seems like some senseless bullshit!!! When will the dumb shit stop?!!
R.I.P. to this man and may God bless his family!!!!
nah no conspiracy behind this, shit happened right in front of my school.. cat was just on a random rampage.
Rip
RIP
damm shame
oh shit this was all over the news… I saw death row and I was like aww shit but no this is really probably THE MOST RANDOM act of violence ever. I can’t think of anything more random than some white shooting up passing cars in hollywood in broad day light.
Couldnt be a worse case of wrong place wrong time.
RIP. I use to live right down the street. That’s why I left Hollywood and moved to South Central. Hipsters and gentrifiers have lost their minds.
I cant help but wonder if agents from the spiritual relm were at the center of his demise. Its just soo random that a former death row exec was the one that got gunned down. Think about it this way.. How many decisions and courses of action on that day or previous days lead him to be at that specific location (not inches short) at that exact time and day to be fatally shot in the head and neck. He had to shower, dress, get gas, eat, etc. and everything he did positioned him to fall into the hands of a random white kid’s rage. Im sorry but I dont believe fate is accidental.
Jesus christ man, knock out the religous paranoia, a crazy nigga started shooting the street up and this dude was in the wrong place at the wrong time, simple as that
SMH, this is why I hate organized religion
^ yup. the pres is a perfect example of blind uneducated ignorance. clearly didnt even read the article..just went off on a bogus tangent that had no relevance.
Why are you people saying this was “Karma” just cause suge Knight was an asshole dont mean everybody who worked for his company was a piece of shit, i never even heard of this dude before
ya’ll aint got no class have some fuckin respect for the dead
co sign. how you gonna judge a man based off another man’s actions? in that case we’re all fucked
yall talking about karma and you dont even know this nigga. he could have been christian philanthropist just looking for honest work to feed his family. and yall hav the nerve to judge his death. fucking makes me sick. and hope the world does the same when your father die
Violence and beef should only happen on wax. When people take beef too seriously, shit like this happens. RIP
WTF are you clowsn jabbering about? Read the news and stay off the blogs. This 26 year old was indescriminately targeting vehicles, he didn’t have a specific target in mind. You know the saying “A bullet has no names on it”? True in this case.
He was a nutjob with a gun. Atterberry wasn’t the only one hit. For fuck sake people.
The only one hit? That makes it even more suspicious when you say that lol. 2pacs ghost getting revenge?
I’m not sure you correctly interpreted what I said. The fact he was randomly shooting at passing vehicles and hit more than just Atterberry makes it more suspicious? This shit had zero to do with PAC, Suge, or anything else with Death Row. The key word in this whole thing is “random”.
rtjoo is clearly a rt-ard
This is scary that you could be driving and get shot for no reason
“The Curse Of Death Row”
I went and googled this dudes name… Apparently he got dumped by his girlfriend two days before. Dude said he was over her, but was acting strange. They show a video of him. It’s crazy this fuck is standing in the middle of the road waiting for cars to drive by then when one does he bucks at the drivers window
Then it says some next dude standing on a 4th floor balcony was trying to get the shooters attentiIon saying “come up here and shoot me shoot me”
Tha VP’s death was just coincidence, bad timing,
Shit
