Revolt TV, Akademiks, and Adam 22 of No Jumper, and most recently TMZ have since confirmed Mo3's death. At this time, it is unclear as to whether the shooting has claimed further lives, nor have police identified a suspect. In an update, TMZ's report has provided further details on how the shooting is alleged to have transpired. According to their report, both Mo3 and the gunman were driving on the I-35, when the gunman left his car and approached on foot. Upon seeing this, Mo3 fled the car and the gunman proceeded to open fire, hitting the rapper with a shot in the back of the head. He was taken to the hospital where he later died of his injuries.
Mo3 was a beloved rapper and close collaborator of Boosie Badazz, with whom he worked on the recent Badazz Mo3 project. At this time, fans have been taking to social media to pay their respects. Between this and the recent death of King Von, it has been a particularly upsetting month for the hip-hop community. Rest in peace to Mo3, another young talent gone too soon.
