San Antonio, Texas rapper Glizzy has been killed in an execution-style barbershop slaying while getting a haircut, and no one has been arrested for the crime.
The incident transpired at North Star Mall on 7400 San Pedro Avenue around 3 p.m on Sunday (June 4) while the rapper (real name Adam Glass) was getting a haircut at a local barbershop called the Black Lotus.

According to local outlet KENS 5, two masked shooters were then seen on video running into the establishment and firing off multiple shots at Glass before fleeing the scene.
“Surveillance video captured two unknown suspects getting dropped off and entering the barbershop,” San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said during a press conference. “One was described as a Black male, thin inbuild wearing a black hoodie, light colored shorts. The other, the male was wearing a black hoodie and dark colored pants.”

McManus then spoke about the recent string of gun deaths in San Antonio, noting: “There has to be accountability. If you commit a crime, you have to be held accountable for it.”

Glizzy is just the latest up-and-coming Texas rapper to become a victim of gun violence. Back in March, Houston rapper BTB Savage was shot and killed, hours after seemingly taunting a deceased enemy on social media.
While details surrounding his death remain scarce, ABC 13 reported that a young Black man in his 20s was gunned down in what police believed was a targeted murder near Houston’s River Oaks neighborhood.
Witnesses at the scene said the young man was driving a white Mercedes before suspects drove alongside him in a black Subaru. Multiple shots were fired before the suspects fled down San Felipe.
Bennie Price, founder of a local San Antonio non-profit Big Mama’s Safe House, said the community needs to work on protecting the youth, who are growing up around this gun violence.

“Gun violence, it doesn’t stay in one area,” Price told KENS 5. “That’s the things that we’re trying to address, the root problems of gun violence, which is poverty, low education, single-parent homes and stuff like that so we’re trying to address to make sure that our youth are going in the right direction.”
