Gun violence continues to plague the rap community, taking yet another young life. According to NBC New York, 27-year-old Avanti Frowner — later identified as Los Angeles drill rapper MoneyGangVontae — was in the Bronx on Thursday (June 9) when he was ambushed inside a local pharmacy by four other men during what police are calling an attempted robbery.
As they wrestled on the ground over a wad of cash MoneyGangVonte had been flaunting earlier that day, one man pulled out a gun and fatally shot the aspiring artist. Although the suspects all fled, the entire incident was captured on the pharmacy’s security system.
WARNING – GRAPHIC VIDEO
Police received a call about gunfire at the Amazing Pharmacy on East Tremont Avenue around 2 p.m. EST. They discovered MoneyGangVontae with multiple gunshot wounds to the chest. He was later pronounced dead at St. Barnabas Hospital.
A pharmacy employee told NBC News the victim made a purchase that afternoon when he was there with a friend and was still outside about 20 minutes later when a fight broke out with the suspects.
“He look like trouble,” the worker said. “I saw that he had a lot of money. They looked like they [were] fighting or arguing, I don’t know. I saw that one of them had a gun. I went back there to the pharmacist screaming, ‘We have to move, have to move, because he have a gun, he have a gun!'”
Law enforcement sources said MoneyGangVontae was running away from the suspects, who were trying to rob him of the money the pharmacy employee saw him display that afternoon. He was seeking shelter inside the pharmacy when he was killed. The worker said she heard MoneyGangVontae begging for his life: “He said ‘Please, please we can talk, we can talk?”
The four suspects fled the scene on foot. Police said three were last seen wearing white shorts and black shirts, while the fourth had on orange shorts and a Yankees hat. No arrests have yet been made, but an investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
Remembering Those We Lost In 2021
MoneyGangVontae was in the Big Apple for a scheduled performance but made the fatal mistake of posting several Instagram photos of himself wearing a valuable chain outside of a Bronx bodega. The suspects ultimately tracked him down and the fight ensued.
An unidentified witness later said, “There were about three shots, and I saw the guys running away from the pharmacy. They robbed him. One of them had his chain…One of the guys had a gun and he put it in the pocket of his shorts as they ran away.”
STOP ROBBING PEOPLE AND GET A FUCKKIN JOB. KILLIN PEOPLE OVER A DAMN CHAIN. lemme guess tho you clown will say for the culture. well your culture sucks.
A damn shame you cant even go hang with your own people, before nigga greed and jealousy kick in, is taking someone live for a train and some cash worth it, one is dead and them 4 fool now going to be going to jail for a very long time, that crazy man
Sooner or later they’ll catch them it’s just crazy just crazy greed they just want to sit on the lazy ass and expect everything to be handed to them !!!
Those brave men deserve a medal.
They say the same thing about sleeping with your mom
Dam.you can tell your mom is stupid as fuck look at you.she should have spit you out
She did ,but unfortunately there was some splashback in the toilet she spitted in. What are the odds of that ever happening.
Dude with the gun seems he took pleasure in killing that dude . Walk him down and shot him 4 times
His girl probably pissed him off this morning. But WTF was up with his aiming. If his life depended on that, he’d definitely be gone cuz I know 70 year old ladies with better technique than him.
He’s drill now. See what happens when you make that type of music and aren’t about that life. That’s the end result. Then again even those who are about that life end up the same way too. Should rename it Coffin music. Dude should’ve never been flossing especially if he’s got no security,not packing heat, checked in with the local set, or confident you can defend yourself. Lesson Learned The Hardway. RIP
It’s a shame you can’t walk around with your own jewelry you work hard for !! You need security for that !!!
He had “Your brain is a terrible thing to waste” on his IG. Ummm…
You trying to be funny or disrespectful
R.I.P. to the young dude. What ever happened to “Here take this shit. You can have it”?
The guy with the gun did technically
I don’t understand the mentality. He’s not from there, he’s showing out, he’s posted up long enough for niggas to get to him smh. I mean, for what?? Go do your show and leave bro, simple as that.
he wanted to kill him alright.
I watched a few of this guy’s videos. It’s all guns, cash, lean and weed. His last Instagram post was bragging about money. His name had Money in it, his chain had his name on it. What you put out there is what you get back. The only attention all that stunting is gonna get you is negative attention. After seeing this same scenario play out again and again (and again,) why won’t people smarten up? I love hip hop, but am not so blind to see that this is the only genre of music where this fate regularly befalls it’s artists. It’s not normal. This is the very real consequence of all the sticks and Draco’s and switches and opps and spinning the block and upping the score. Those outside of hip hop continue to just shake their heads, wondering why this culture worships death. Of course I feel bad for this guy, but really, what we’re the chances of it ending any other way?
One important fact about being robbed, when you’re outnumbered and outgunned, don’t resist or run away. Give them what they want. There was a tussle leading all the way to the front counter. Homie, wasn’t pleading for his life until he got shot the first time. By then it was too late. R.I.P
they had what they wanted he didn’t have to shoot him
Eventually they did after him a beatdown. You see the umbrella they hit him with.
Exactly its many people who turn over all they have but these low life slums just want to kill who the hell set out they day thinking of killing somebody over they own stuff how crazy throw the key away on they ass never to see freedom again
In the end yes, after a struggle.
I cant front..I have no idea who the young homie because drill aint for me and im 40 but RIP anyway..real talk NYC is looking like the late 80s, early 90s again…niggaz blasting for the fucc of it..young homie look like he was enjoying getting a body smh shit is sad.
All of them are trash…including the victim. Nothing to see here, move along.
The same can be said about your mom on the corner, now STFU.
Awww someone got mad lool yes he is correct he said your kind is TRASH… too bad for your feelings getting smashed
Why commit a crime nowadays with cameras everywhere it’s not worth going to jail but hey some type of people just have those criminal genetics obviously that black life didn’t matter to that black man money mattered more but guess what now they won’t even have enough time to spend it and enjoy it because the white man just killed 2 birds with one stone. When do you see a gang of white people doing something like that never they are too smart only blacks go out in packs and commit savage acts like that if that was a white man being robbed and shot trust me that pack of animals would be lynched
Well that means the blacks that commit these acts of random violence need to be lynched and you’re right they are so dam dum every place has cameras everywhere so they are dumb criminals but we know society and social media is the devil these predators lurk on it just for nonsense as this get a dam job why is a few bucks and a dam chain worth taking a life that his family will never get back its our people daily get a dam education and a dam job it’s enough money to be got by all who want they own dam money why take someone else cash now may all if you die by the hands of the same evil you caused on another life or by the hands of the white man lethal injection may your families suffer like the suffering you have put on his family and friends EVIL EVIL EVIL Bastards!!!!!
A bag full of money in the Bronx? WTF you think was gonna happen? These dudes rob Uber online you think they they ain’t watching money?
If he‘d survived he’d be bragging about being untouchable on IG by now. That’s the sad truth about those so called victims
Leaving aside the fact that the victim was asking to be robbed due to being reckless, the dude who shot him seemed like he just wanted to kill him regardless, sick fuck. Imagine being so dumb that you just throw away your life like that? I guess the only positive thing to come out of this is that he will most likely get be locked away for life and not get the chance to murder anybody else
And he seemed like such a nice young man..
Dude loading that clip like he rolling a blunt….Cold!!!
Lol, he meant sure he killed him, as if to say “there shall be no resurrections this time”… I forgot where I heard that….!!!
You heard that from Thanos my boyyyyy
Infinity War when he got Loki up outta there lol
