Damn, another one lost.
Chief Keef’s cousin, rapper Blood Money, real name Mario Hess, was shot and killed last night in the West Englewood neighborhood in Chicago.
Sadly, the 30-year-old rapper was killed two weeks after he signed a major label deal with Interscope records, according to his manager and cousin Renaldo Reuben Hess.
According to ABCLocal, here’s how the shooting went down:
“Renaldo Hess said his cousin was on his way to the studio and stopped to talk to some girls in a car when someone walked up and shot him. Renaldo Hess says there was no known motive.
Police said Mario Hess, 30, was shot and killed about 9:30 p.m. in the 5600 block of South Elizabeth Street. He was found lying on a sidewalk with a gunshot wound to the chest.
He was taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, where he died at 10:29 p.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office.”
Chief Keef has been relatively quiet about Blood Money’s death. He did post a picture of his cousin on Instagram:
GBE member Fredo Santana took to Twitter to show respect:
