The 22-year-old rapper was fatally shot at a gas station in Chicago.

Meek Mill, like most people, is appalled by the videos circulating of Bloodhound Q50’s death in Chicago. The video itself became inescapable once it emerged over the weekend and, on a platform like X, started gaining traction immediately. “I seen q50 murder 50 times today I feel haunted ....” Meek Mill wrote on X.

The video in question shows the rapper entering his Tesla before it was riddled with bullets at a gas station in the early hours of September 13th. Surveillance footage shows several men approaching his car and shooting at it. Authorities said that Bloodhound Q50 “sustained a gunshot wound to the chest and shoulder” and was pronounced dead shortly afterward. Cook County Medical Examiner confirmed that the cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds.

Per the Chicago Sun-Times, one witness claimed that he heard over 100 gunshots. “I think the markings stopped at 80 or something, but I feel like I heard way more than that,” the witness said.

Bloodhound Q50 Dies In Shooting

A woman who was allegedly in the car with Bloodhound Q50 when his vehicle was shot up fired back at online claims that accused her of setting him up.

“I am the girl that was in the passenger seat yall don’t know what the f**k happened i didnt set sh*t up," the statement reads, per XXL. "When he got in the car I told him to hurry up and pull off because when he was in the store dudes were walking around the car looking suspicious the car would not put off because of thr seat belt while he was trying to get the car in drive i was looking out the back window and seen them running up after soon as I seen them and heard shots i got out fast as I could and ran screaming for help That was my homie my lover and my unborn baby father put some f**kn respect on me and his life."
