Wu-Tang Clan affiliates and members of the Ol’ Dirty Bastard-founded Hip Hop group Brooklyn Zu — 12 O’Clock and Murdock — have reportedly died.
As social media tributes started going up on Tuesday (August 10), 12 O’Clock’s son Divine Turner took his grief to his Instagram Stories and confirmed his father was found shot in Oregon.
“I’m out of town on business and found out they just murdered my father,” he says from a loud plane. “I don’t know what to do.” He wrote at the bottom, “Sad day for me. They assassinated my father in #Oregon.”
Both 12 O’Clock and Murdock were cousins to the late Wu-Tang Clan legend Ol’ Dirty Bastard. ODB’s son, Young Dirty Bastard, shared an Instagram post commemorating them both.
“Rip To My Older Cousins,” he wrote. “Rip 12 ‘O Clock. Rip Murdock. They Were My Fathers Tightest blood Bonds. My Two Older Cousins Was just assassinated. Love Yalllllll. Blood Forever. Brooklyn Zu.”
Raekwon and Streetlife were among the many in YDB’s comment section sending their condolences, while Judah Priest told HipHopDX, “Best wishes to my brothers. I will miss them.”
According to Fox 12, the shooting took place in Northeast Portland on Tuesday (August 10) around 5:19 a.m. local time. Officers were called to the scene with reports of shots fired in the 3600 block of Northeast 82nd Avenue.

12 O’CLOCK
&
MURDOCK
Rest in Power 12 met him in Orlando fla cool dude.
RIP, Brooklyn Zoo OGs. It’s still crazy to me though when people get news about the death of a loved one and their first thought is, “Let me go on social media and tell everyone”, before the body is even cold.
Good thing Portland defunded the police out there. BLM!
Yeah bitch… BLM..
Portland reallocated $16M in police funding to social service programs out of a $245M budget. That isn’t defunding.
12 oclock was ill dude rip
My condolences mans
12 was dope, every Wu track that he was featured on, was fire. I wish he could’ve had an LP produced by RZA and Wu-Elements back in the 90s. It would’ve been a classic, no doubt. RIP
What’s going on in America? I don’t hear Black Lives Matter protests when it’s black on black killings unless there’s police involved in the killings, all lives matter regardless of who did it. Stop the violence America, the whole world looks to you as a pillar of freedom and strength. Just the other day I read an article about a 17 year old upcoming rapper shot and murdered, today it’s this article. Seems like America loves it’s violence.
I hear what youre saying even though its sarcasm at its worst. I as a Black Man will drop a little knowledge on you that you probably need to hear.. We have a rule in the Black Household that IF YOU ARENT BLACK you probably have never heard. I can fight MY BROTHER but YOU wont fight MY BROTHER…
Suck something
BLM movement is about a specific kind of fatal violence – i.e. violence that ONLY exists BECAUSE of race and abuse of power (like cops racially profiling for example).
General violence and disputes that are NOT race-related or about abuse of power are a separate issue hence BLM will not be involved here.
Where’s the BLM protests ? No cop or white person involved so BLM a no-show ?
Man this shit is to crazy I was just with both them last week now they gone.This shit has to stop we cant keep losing our people man.
