A shooting at the Pittsburgh, Pa., Waterfront has left rapper Wiz Khalifa’s uncle dead.
Imani Porter, 20, was shot in the head while sitting in a car in the parking lot. He was taken to UPMC Mercy Hospital, where he later died.
Khalifa took to Twitter to express shock and grief over the death of his loved one:
My uncle was younger and more level headed than all of us. I would have never seen this happening in a million years

Rest in peace Imani. Your with Allah now

God has a plan #RestWithGodImani

Authorities say two African American men took off on foot and were then picked up down the road along Waterfront Drive by an older, white Pontiac Bonneville. On Thursday, another suspect, 17-year-old Jaron Young, turned himself in at the District Magistrate’s office and was picked up by Turtle Creek Police.
Detectives are searching for a motive, but say they found heroin in the car the victim was shot in, as well as in the parking lot.
“One of the things we look for is motive, and the drugs being present lends itself to some type of illegal activity prior to the shooting,” said Lt. Andrew Schurman, of Allegheny County Police.
Our prayers are with Wiz Khalifa and family at this time.
