Slim 400, a 33-year old hip-hop artist was shot dead in Los Angeles, California. Law enforcement sources told TMZ that he was shot on Wednesday night, in Inglewood. There is no clear information about the shooting and the number of suspects involved.
Law enforcement said that patrol officers had heard gun shots fired. When they arrived at the scene of the shooting, they found a man, who was later identified as rapper Slim 400, with a gunshot wound. He was found in the driveway of a home. He was taken to the Harbor UCLA Medical Center. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Law enforcement sources say that it did not look like a targeted shooting. There was a possibility that Slim 400 was at a “wrong place” at the “wrong time.” He was shot at around 7.50 p.m. Law enforcement also said that there was an ongoing gang war between the bloods and the crips.
