Rapper Blade Icewood killed in Detroit drive-by shooting

DETROIT (AP) — Rap performer Blade Icewood has been killed in a drive-by shooting, seven months after another gun attack left him paralyzed from the chest down.
Icewood, 27, whose legal name was Darnell Lyndsey, was in a wheelchair inside his Range Rover on Tuesday night when a shooter pulled along side in a vehicle and fired, Detroit police say. Icewood was dead at the scene.
Police have no suspects, the Detroit Free Press said Thursday.
The shooting was within a mile of the site where Icewood hosted a nonviolence rally last year.
The subjects of Icewood's hard-core raps include drugs, money, sex, guns, gangsters and premature death.
On one number, he raps about picking out a casket. On another, he talks about his possible death: "You'll never catch me. And if a hater just happen to stretch me, my funeral line, two miles long, all stretchies."
Icewood was nominated in three categories in this Saturday's third annual Detroit Hip Hop awards, including album of the year.
This month, Icewood had planned to release his third CD, titled "Blood, Sweat and Tears." Part of it was going to deal with the September shooting, said Nicole Shakoor, a manager at Platinum Records in Detroit.
In September, gunmen forced their way into an Oak Park apartment and opened fire. Icewood was critically hurt with multiple wounds. Oak Park police Sgt. Mike Pinkerton said Wednesday that no one was ever arrested for that shooting and said Icewood had refused to help investigators.

Blade must have left her with the stash of good drugs.
Takin' out the trash bump.
One question:
What did Karl Rove know about this and when did he know it? ;)
DEMOCRATS.!....
(Eddie Murphy laugh).
Some poster claiming to be his little sister freepmailed me, even though I wasn't even on the thread - I vaguely remembered it, searched on "Blade" and found this, so I bumped it.
I got a freepmail too. Don't know if I posted on this thread or not.
The freepmail was in ebonics so I can't say for sure what it said.
Orange you the clever one.
I don't think that was an out of line or insensitive comment.
I didn't get FRmailed this time. Some joker did run his mouth to me with F'bombs and the like a few months back.
Does Crime Stoppers have a number to call if the shooter whats to remain anonymous and collect the 500 bucks
Well, Admin Mod must have gotten back from an eight martini lunch - they just nuked Blade's sis. I'm sure Al Sharpton will stage a protest over this racist injustice.
LOL, Mod bossed her up...
Sometimes I'm a poet and don't even know it.
I didn't get FReepmail from this one though.
*???huh???*
"Damn, not Bladeicewood!"
You owe me a keyboard, a monitor, and a replacement picture of granny from the opposite wall. Very serious spit take here, still laughing.
In side news: 'udpilot' signed up today to insult someone in a thread from 2003:

A rather odd thread to be doing the necrotroll thing over as well.
How about some of his fans? That should really narrow the list to likely criminal suspects!
I really miss Detroit. It was always such a pleasure to see Eight Mile Road rapidly disappearing in the rearview mirror.
