I think a lot of these are gang/drug related.

How come you never hear about concert violinists being gunned down outside Carnegie Hall?

Dies while still in his 30s? It’s like losing another Mozart.

Straight Outta Salzburg.

Rappers tend to have short lives. Except for Coolio.

Glad I didn’t choose that for a career.

How in the wild wild west do rappers come up with their stage name?

What was their mama thinking when coming up with their legal name?

No it’s not. 0.5 oz = 14.17 g

226.796 g = 0.5 lb. ( half-pound )

Ironically he was killed with a bullet weighing half an ounce.

Latauriisha O’Brien, was found suffering from several gunshot wounds in front of an apartment building,

Grammarians, what is this glaring error called, I was taught to avoid it in 7th grade but cannot remember what the error is called. Back then the example was ‘Uncle Fred shot a bear wearing his new hunting coat.’

The example you provide from your 7th grade is not of a so-called "Dangling Participle" - although it bears [pun intended!] a superficial resemblance.

Neither is the sentence you quote from the article an example of a "Dangling Participle."

Rather, the problem with both sentences is due simply to the word-order. It can be easily corrected simply by reshuffling the word-order (that would not suffice in the case of a true "Dangling Participle").

Latauriisha O’Brien, was found in front of an apartment building, suffering from several gunshot wounds [...]

Uncle Fred, wearing his new hunting coat, shot a bear.

NOTE that the comma after "apartment building" is indispensable! After all: It is not the building which is suffering from gunshot wounds.

Here's an example of a true "Dangling Participle," which cannot be correctly merely by changing the word-order:

"After constantly chewing her slippers and crapping on the floor, my girlfriend decided to get rid of her dog."

Regards,

Isn't there a random rapper-name generator meme on the Internet? You know: "Take the color of your underwear and whatever you last ate?"
