A Toronto rapper is dead after being shot numerous times in his car in what police are calling a brazen attack in downtown Toronto.
Det. Sgt. Steve Ryan says the victim identified as Shmar Parris, 25, who social media messages of condolence said also went by the name Murda Marz, a rapper who several videos posted on YouTube was known to police and the overnight shooting is believed to be a targeted attack.
Ryan says a light-coloured SUV was seen driving erratically away from the scene but there are no details on any suspects or how many may be involved.
Police say Parris was pronounced dead in hospital Friday after being found slumped in the drivers seat of the car with multiple gunshot wounds in Cabbagetown, near Carlton Street and Parliament Street.
....
Murda Marz Twitter profile said he was from Nova Scotia and Toronto; messages of condolence posted on Twitter and Instagram said he was a good person who always made everyone laugh.
Street N****,a video posted on YouTube, was captioned as being murda marz in north preston nova scotia and featured him in front of Tasty Pizza in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, rapping of the clubs at night, man all them pretty ladies and saying if Im not on the road Im in the p-e-n. It included a shoutout to all my peoples in North Preston, Nova Scotia. and had numerous RIP comments posted afterwards.

“And so another aspiring rapper who nobody heard of gains street cred, fame and sales by getting shot dead.”
Would have done better as an aspirin wrapper.....
It’s easy to spot a Canadian rapper. Their pants are at half mast exposing their thermal underwear.
Those Canadians, you can't hide anything from them! Mountie #1 Pretty Brazen, eh. Mountie #2 Looks to be targeted, eh? Mountie #3 Hoser should a played hockey, he'd still be alive.
This stuff is run of the mill, so they must be referring to brass shell casings.
Looks like Murda done got hisself murdaed.
LOL!
Well...he's making me laugh right now. Maybe its the dopey picture.
There’s a Compton in Toronto???
I thought owning a handgun in Canada was next to impossible. They’re always lecturing us on our outlaw west mentality, but apparently Canadian criminals and other bad guys can get their hands on a gun whenever they please, lol.
hmmm they didn’t call him an aspiring rapper....
more street thug garbage cleaned out. It’s not surprising he came to that end.
more like Murdad...
Oh dear...
Marz was Murdaed
Oh, no! He was my fav!.....Who?
I got my wife a Malibu, great car, I’ll tell her to stay away from bullets.
Rappers killing rappers, like dog bites man, why is it even news?
