Less than 24 hours after San Diego rapper OG YD was reported dead following an interstate shooting, another California rapper has reportedly succumbed to more gun violence.
According to KCR3 and several other sources, police are investigating the fatal shooting of local rapper Hotboy Ju who was killed in a car-to-car shooting on Sunday afternoon (March 21). The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the victim died after being shot inside a vehicle in the North Highlands area.
During a press conference, Sgt. Rod Grassman revealed Hotboy Ju was a passenger in the vehicle and noted, “There was another vehicle that drove in close proximity to it and fired off several rounds.”
California Highway Patrol officers arrived on the scene around 3 p.m. local time and discovered Hotboy Ju with several gunshot wounds. CPR was administered at the scene before he was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
So far, no arrests have been made and investigators are treating the incident as a homicide.
Hotboy Ju has several videos on YouTube, including “Hoe B*tch,” “Rocking” and “Free BubG.” One of his most recent visual appears to be “Swerve In It,” which was released last May.
The latest shooting comes four months after BadAzz Music Syndicate artist Mo3 was gunned down on a Dallas freeway and just over two weeks after Houston rapper Chucky Trill was shot to death on Interstate 85.
CyHi The Prynce also narrowly escaped with his life after he was targeted while driving down an Atlanta interstate last month. The G.O.O.D Music affiliate wasn’t sure if it was a case of mistaken identity, an attempted robbery or payback for something he did as a kid. But whatever it was, he was determined to find a way to amend the problem and find peace.
“I was born and raised in Atlanta, GA, and I have tremendous love for my city … but it’s chaotic out here,” he wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post. “I’m trying my best to keep a level head, but when you don’t know who is after you its hard to wrap your mind around it and not be paranoid. By the grace of god and my lord and savior jesus christ I am still here. I just want to let the people know who were trying to kill me that i am not a bad person. I don’t want revenge, I just want understanding and closure.
San Diego Rapper OG YD Shot & Killed While Driving On Interstate 805
“Everyone that’s in Atlanta right now, please protect yourself, stay out the way and be careful, because it could all be over in a split second,” he added. “I understand there’s a lot of beef going on in my city between different crews, that is fueled by the music…but it is time that we all have a sit down and have a peace meeting.”
Every time I see a story like this about a rapper I haven’t heard about getting killed, I always go on YouTube and peep a few of their videos. Without fail, it’s always the same thing, “.40’s, Draco’s, sticks, opps.”
By now, it’s clear what this lifestyle brings you. Knowing that, if you still want to participate/perpetuate said lifestyle, that’s on you.
You are a phagot.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. This is the end result when you try to live a lifestyle that clearly isn’t yours. The kid got drive thru style gunned down so whoever did it definitely had a personal beef with him directly and wanted to send a message. Sad to see that this won’t be the last time this happens. R.I.P….When will these guys ever learn though?
This article starts off on one rapper, then ends quoting another rapper talking peace. if I wasn’t careful Id attribute the quote to the first rapper.
i have enemies myself i can relate. a lot of hating on you, but not as much from me back to them unless i break the law. i’ve had guns pointed at me, i have witnessed police corruption and i have been threatened with police brutality. i rep the emerald city of seattle. i really love seattle. in seattle, the scene there is a bit few and far between. r.i.p. hotboy ju he looks like he was just a kid he wanted to share something with the world he has gone too soon.
Yeah right. You rep Dez Nutz from between my legs Ave,which sits on my dick shaft and drive in Bullshit , Wyoming. Seattle ain’t got nothing on the Westside of The Chi. GD killing somebody everyday here over anything so you can’t even front with the gang ties. You either wit it and you prepared for whatever happens or you a fake and somebody is gonna test you and make an example out of you for set. Those are your choices.
You the type of dude that get hyped when you see your city in the top 5 most violent cities in the US. Dummy
Buddy ain’t from Chicago. Trust me.
Chicago is ass, to many fake ass gangsters that false flag to save face and only act hard when they’re with a lot of they’re friends. I live by GD’s and Kings, and it’s all bitch made kids, that do drive by’s and can’t aim for shit.
