After being shot outside a hotel in Florida early Sunday morning (June 23), his attorney confirmed to NBC News. The rapper born Charles Jones was celebrating his 26th birthday Saturday night (June 22) before relocating to a Holiday Inn, where, according to his lawyer Lewis Fusco, the musician was ambushed by assailants.
The Tampa Police Department tells Billboard that law enforcement arrived at the scene after receiving a 911 call around 4:40 a.m. ET. There, they found a pair of vehicles that had been peppered with bullets in the parking lot. Jones was pronounced dead, and three others were taken to a local hospital and were in stable condition.
Police are working to identify those involved, and are investigating for a motive. The Tampa Police Department requests that anyone with information related to the shooting call 813-231-6130.
