Compton rapper Slim 400 was fatally shot in California on Wednesday evening, police confirmed to ABC News. He was 33.
The shooting occurred hours after the hip-hop artist shared a tribute on Instagram to fellow rapper and collaborator Young Dolph, who was shot and killed last month while visiting a bakery in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
**SNIP**
Cohran shared a video last week paying tribute to Dolph in an Instagram post, saying Dolph "was the 1st artist that show'd love" when Cohran was injured in 2019 after reportedly being shot nine times.
Cohran reflected on the shooting in an interview with TMZ in July 2019, saying that he feels "blessed" for surviving.
Before he was killed, Dolph was shot in Los Angeles in September 2017, and earlier that year, in February, his SUV, which he said had bulletproof panels, was shot at more than 100 times in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The shooting inspired one of Dolph's most popular songs, "100 Shots," which is the first track on his 2017 album, "Bulletproof."

Over the past few years, several notable rappers have been shot and killed, including Nipsey Hussle, Pop Smoke, Mo3, King Von and XXXTentacion.

Weekend at Bernie's?
Gee whiz I’m shocked.
Gee, thats too bad.
First "reportedly shot," then "injured."
I am positive he was taking night classes and trying to get his life on track. Or so his mother will say in a day or two. /sarc
These rappers need to find some other, less dangerous line of work, like skydiving instructor or lion tamer. Their life expectancy would increase.
Being a gangster or musical gangster is a sure fire way to die young.
Yeah the local L.A. news was reporting this homicide yesterday. They described him as a “Rising Rap Star” had to chuckle.
What is it with rappers and getting shot? Did they all insult Hillary at some point? Are they rapping bad things about Hillary? I never seen anything like this, it’s like the Mafia schitzo style, they kill each other just to kill each other.
I don't know how the world will go on after losing such a promising talent.
Anyone remember rap in the 1980s when there was break dancing and big gold chains with Kangol hats? And that was the extent of the violence?
Then starting in the 1990s all of sudden these criminals starting getting involved, and I really wonder if democrats were behind it. Something doesn’t add up here. Imagine gang members, criminals getting involved in soul music in the 1970s where they end up killing one another, people would ask where the hell did they come from??
Someone or something financed and pushed this and I’m betting it was the financiers of the democraps like George Soros. Keep the blacks oppressed as hell to keep them on the democrap plantation.
Slim sounds pretty shady.
Crips/Bloods crapola
They come from gangs and maintain the gang mentality and rivalries. The “music” is just incidental.
Yup. Nothing to see here.
That’s what rappers do. Shoot and kill each other or others.
Probably not going to be there when the roll is called up yonder. Not judging....just speculating.
Who was also shot and killed. Life in the Rap industry.
