The 33-year-old rapper and two other men were gunned down Sunday in the 3400 block of West Slauson Ave. in South Los Angeles.
“Paramedics were called and Asghedom was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m.,” the coroner’s office said. The two other men sustained non-life threatening injuries.
