Another rapper has reportedly been murdered in what has evolved into a consistent and disturbing trend over the past year.
According to KCAL 9 News, a 21-year-old man, who has been identified as rapper Indian Red Boy (real name Zerail Dijon Rivera), was shot multiple time while he was sitting in his vehicle at the 14100 block of Chadron Avenue in Hawthorne on Thursday afternoon (July 8).
The Los Angeles Police Department said the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. In a graphic video making the rounds online, Indian Red Boy is talking to a friend of his on Instagram Live when a barrage of bullets ring out. Blood begins pouring from his nose as he struggles to say, “Get help.”
His friend shouts, “Where you at?” to which Indian Red Boy replies, “Hawthorne.” He then appears to slip away.
WARNING: GRAPHIC VIDEO [PROCEED WITH CAUTION]

Lieutenant Ti Goetz of the Hawthorne Police Department explained to the press, “It appears to have been a walk-up shooting and he appears to have been targeted … he appears to be a gang member.”
Chatter online also suggests Indian Red Boy was a member of the Bloods gang and killed for dissing a mural erected in the late Nipsey Hussle’s name. Nipsey, of course, repped the Rolling 60’s Crips.
In a YouTube video posted in May, the Nipsey mural is defaced with red paint that reads in part, “Victory Lap HBD.” Someone in the clips says it was “the second time in one week” the mural had been destroyed.
Nipsey Hussle was murdered outside of his Marathon Clothing store in South Central Los Angeles on March 31, 2019. Suspected killer Eric Holder was arrested three days after the slaying and pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Holder appeared in court earlier this month with a new attorney who claimed he suffered from significant mental health issues and had just lost his mother when the shooting occurred.
Police are still looking for the suspects in Indian Red Boy’s murder. The man who captured the Instagram Live video paid tribute to his fallen friend on Saturday (July 10).
Indian Red Boy’s killing marks at least the 10th rapper to be fatally shot this year. Hot Boy Ju, OG YD, DThang and Chucky Trill are among those who have lost their lives in 2021 to gun violence.
HipHopDX sends our condolences to the Rivera family.
Ain’t dancing no more. It’s all good til the getback sets in. He should’ve saw that coming. Kapon3 is definitely going to be next. Reap what you sow.
those brothers are actually driving some nice cars.
juvenile said it best : ” that’s why my partnas gon, he ain’t see the evil approaching and a nlgga got him if it was me I would of smoked him!” – Tear da club up thug remix
Stop all that snorting shi cause he couldn’t catch no train now mfks sticking syringe in his veins
INDIAN RED BOY?
He’s Indian Dead Boy now
Indian Dead Boy now unfortunately this is what happens when you disrespect the fallen. (especially on as respected on equal sides as Nipsey Hussle) Sadly, his homeboy is going to be hunted like a dog and more people will possibly get hurt over this just because someone wanted to clout chase for recognition. SMH
stop friggin hanging out outside in your car.. if he was chillin in his house he might still be alive
The dude he was chatting with on IG before he was shot, is the one who vandalized the mural. This guy’s dead because of his homie.
The demonstration speaks volumes.
Rest in Peace. Tho you gonna dis someone so many had love for, you gotta expect some get back.
This world is full of jealous people who want what you have and if they can’t get it, they’d rather see you dead than have something better than them… Straight Evil! People are so incredibly evil..
At this rate I’ll become more popular than 2pac and Biggie as famous rappers that have died.
i call fake. he has a bleeding nose but if he was getting shot in the face we would see much more.
Nah it was real
The bleeding from the nose wouldn’t be from getting shot in the face. That’s from getting hit in the lung and trying to breathe.
Young blood was not a rapper and son was not the one that painted over nips painting get your story right
I got deez, I got deez….and homie where you at? Are the last words he got to here sadly. Was it all worth dying over it. It’s a shame that this had to happen but dudes were warned about doing this and what what happen and they still kept at it. When will the cycle stop? Oh well, Keeps me in business
Idk mike I wish we can stop killing each other
What a stupid waste, LA should bring in the national guard to beef up security if the cops are gonna continue to let this shit happen.
The job of the police is not to prevent crime.
why would I do that when it’s one of the many things that keep your kind down, we can’t have yall walking around getting along, it’s bad for business
National Guard?? That’s funny. LA should just let these dudes kill themselves off…they wanna kill eachother and die so badly thenet them have at it. Give it a month or two and less problems
Crenshaw Mafia is who stamped Nipsey’s mural. They’ve had beef with 60’s for over 40 years now. 60’s would have shot a CM anyways regardless. These idiots are live streaming and have their enemies watching, their enemies ask a girl to asked to be added and then see what’s going on. They see what street you’re out in the background when you’re posting. They know where to look. Dude got himself Pop Smoked. SMH
yall are losers. you martyr a known gang member why cause he rhymes. aint none of yal was bumpin nipsey before he died. get better.
That’s a lie, and I’m all the way on the east coast. Just because you were late doesn’t mean everybody was…
This is really sad. Getting killed for nothin. I watched the video and I already regret it. Seeing a human life giving up is last breaths… terrible thing to see. The United States should really reforms the gun legislation. It is vital at this point. So many lives being taken away for the last decades because of a legislation that was ratified in the late 18th century by some insecure politician who were more concerned about protecting their riches over caring about the damages such legislation would have in their near future society SMH
I doubt the person who shot Red boy acquired their weapon via legal channels.
It doesn’t change the fact that gun’s traffic is enhanced because a bill legalizes people to own a gun that will probably move hand to hand until it’s been given to the wrong individual. Moreover this gun legislation is perpetuating a mentality and a culture soaked with the wrong idea that having a gun is having the right to make justice for yourself regardless the cause of your inconvenience.

Fuck that. I’m not giving up my guns because a bunch of people decide they want to ganbang and end up dying because of it. that lifestyle is a choice and got nothing to do with me and my registered guns that ain’t hurting anyone.
“Reform gun laws” clown ass statement.
That’s because you’re an insecure fuck. It’s a different subject.
You got a point but at the same time all the strife we seeing is equally a result of gang culture in as much as it is about gun culture. Both of them need to change in order to us to reform our communities.
If you look what happens in other countries where guns possession is strictly regulated, the rate of murders by gun shot is logically lower than in the united states. And these countries are also facing gang issues and streets criminality. But there is no such thing as a “lost knife” or a “lost baseball bat” while you probably heard about a “lost bullet”.
To my brothers that was with me when I got caught slippin keep it up the work. to my brothers that was with my after I got famous for death yall do better, real recognize real and you ain’t never been.
Find yourself, so that you don’t have to impersonate the dead.
sounds like something nipsey would say minus the real recognizing real, that sound like a Jeezy line
“shouldna been talkn shlt”
Katt Williams, Don’t be a B***h. No one deserves to die. What if that was you?
Then I shouldn’t have been talkin shIt!

A bunch of nobodies who, now, sadly never will be. Will this website please stop reporting on nobody rappers? Nobody cares.
Does anyone need anything from 7-11?
Why is this video even available and why does a hip hop site think it is okay to show this? Blatant lack of respect for life. What about the mans family?
…there are also thousands of „fail/accident“ videos online. Do you really think all those victims survived their car accidents.
Still I am also in shock that a murder can be posted on YouTube
Fail accidents are not murders. This is a hip hop site. This is a disgrace! This is the lowest form of journalism ever. Does his family not deserve dignity ? Do clicks matter more than lives? This ain’t hip hop.
This site is full of clickbait and articles about Pop stars and what not. To me it has always been a gossip site and they know it
Bro I definitely agree they had AN FRIEND OF MINES video up here even on WSHH WHEN SHE WAS SHOT BY THE COPS LAST YEAR FEB 21 on 79th and Hoover THEY SIDNT EVEN HAVE THE FACTS STRAIGHT AND SHE CALLED THEM AND IF THEY WOULD OF GOT HER NAME THEY WOULD OF KNOWN SHE WAS REALLY DEPRESSED
Yo he live streamed it so of course it’ll be out there anyway
? Wow
Does anyone need anything
Yes we need all the help we can get dm udontknowmenone for more info
Who really cares about all theses gansta wantabes. Are we really supposed to feel sorry for these people? I wish rap would be Outlawed and all the nursery rime idiots too.
