A Baltimore rapper named Tyriece Travon Watson, who went by the stage name Lor Scoota, was fatally shot in broad daylight at a busy intersection in Friday, police said. He was 23 years old.

Watson had just left a charity basketball in Baltimore game calling for "peace in the streets" when he was killed.

He was driving in his car when an unknown black male wearing a white bandana stepped into the street and opened fire, Baltimore police said. Watson was brought to a local hospital but died from his injuries.

Wait, who is Lor Scoota, again?

A rapper who's career is about to take off.

4 years shot of the 27 club.

By calling for peace on the streets he was dissing his entire audience.

His brief life can only be summed up with a line from his own song...."Yo Yo Hey...Yo,Mother F@$*%r!"

Despite limited exposure to this particular vernacular, one might infer that he was targeted for a the unparalleled success in the pharmaceutical trade he was bragging about. Hard to tell whether he was the genuine article or a “poser.”

Is the BLM crown enraged about this killing of an unarmed Black man?

[Sgt_Schultze]

He likely accidentally stepped on the shooter’s tennis shoe.

Asked for the reasoning behind her son’s name, mother Vespa Scoota had no comment.

Watson had just left a charity basketball in Baltimore game....

What does a “charity basketball” look like?

[Bigg Red]

Oh, c’mon! English composition is just so last century.

Did not know that. Is “scoota” for “scooter”?

[AppyPappy]

It just means basketball with sponsors.

Rappers tend to either be Bloods or Crips. The more public you are, the more likely to be killed.

Bandana shows which gang you are in. Blue is Crips, red is Bloods.

[fella]

Somebody thought he was for real.

[Spirit of Liberty]

Well......ok. He was a rapper, after all. 😎

Did not know that. Is “scoota” for “scooter”?

A very good question. No! In fact, "scoota" is for scotus, as in "lil' scotus."
