Gun violence continues to plague the rap community. According to The San Diego Union-Tribune, 20-year-old aspiring rapper Yung Kece was fatally shot on Halloween (October 31) around 4 a.m. local time.
Yung Kece’s alleged killer, 18-year-old Israel Moreno Jr., called police shortly after the shooting and claimed he opened fire on the victim in self-defense.
Once officers arrived on the scene, they found Yung Kece on the ground suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Paramedics rushed him to a local hospital where he died.
Investigators later arrested Moreno, and he was arraigned on a murder charge in Chula Vista Superior Court on Wednesday (November 3).
Yung Kece’s rap career was just getting off the ground. With over 23,000 Instagram followers, Kece had already amassed a decent fanbase thanks to singles such as “Leavin or Staying” and “No Love.” As news of his death started making the rounds, his fans flooded his Instagram account with their condolences.
“Damn foo was too scared that he had to shoot rip went out like a gangsta boi,” one wrote, while another said, “can’t believe this shit u in better hands now. sending prayer to your family … u always took care of us ill be here for ur family until next time.”

But another suggested there was something more sinister going on behind the scenes with, “brodie got shot cuz he was beating his baby momma and stomping her face, let’s say that wasn’t the first and only time.”
Whatever the case, it’s yet another life taken too soon. HipHopDX sends our condolences to Yung Kece’s family.

He ? he was beating his baby mama outside knocked her out and stomped on her head the his own friend was trying to stop him from beating the girl. 18year old kid whom shot kace was related to the girl getting beaten also his friend. The baby’s mama was taken to hospital for treatment.
Everyone on the streets knows what happened. He’s a women beater and he got what was coming him. Who knocks out a girl and stomps on her head? If he would have done that in public area day time he would gotten a lot more then just shot someone would knocked him out and stomped on his head
That guy was a joke! Love my guy but what he was do was wrong. No man should ever beat a girl. I feel for my boooiii but maybe this was a better to remember him like this and not for kill his babymama.
That dude was beating his girl like if she was a man. Everyone saw it.
That dude was a joke! Worse rapper ever! Who beats women? He had no real friends cuz that fool was grimy no one could trust that guy. He always had a gun on him because everyone wanted that guy gone I wonder why? I mean he would shoot his gun randomly at people while driving in the back …that guy was a laaaamme
