37-year old Texas rapper Flatline was shot and killed early in the morning on Friday (February 20). Flatline, whose given name was Jose Mendoza, was pronounced dead on the scene according to a local Corpus Christi news department. Mendoza is survived by a wife and two children.
The Corpus Christi Police Department confirmed the murder and announced that a 29-year old suspect turned himself in for the crime. The shooting took place at the Cos-Way Bait & Tackle in Corpus Christi shortly after Mendoza finished fishing with friends in the nearby pier.
Several dozen local residents memorialized the fallen rapper in a candlelight vigil over the weekend.
“My brother did a lot for the community,” Flatline’s brother, Hector Mendoza, told local news outlet Action 10 News. “Through his music he touched a lot of people’s hearts.”
Flatline’s community work included volunteer awareness efforts in a fight against autism, a disorder his 10-year old son suffers from. Check out Mendoza’s 2013 music video addressing the issue below:

Tell the real story, Flatline attacked a man who just happen to have a conceal and carry permit and the man defended himself.

Ive just recently listened to the where did i go wrong at .. and i loved it . I cant stop listening to it. For a man to write a song like that letting everyone know he would do anything for his family i believe is a good man… ive never even really paid attention to who song some of his songs til i heard that one .. so i thought i would Google to see his real name and where he is from. Then i read all this that he was murdered omg i wish i never would have googled it now. I didn’t want to read that. His poor kids , wifeand parents are suffering without there son,, dad , husband ect. Rip flateline. Now your a heaven rapper . Prayers
