A Dallas rapper who was driven to a hospital in a private vehicle died Thursday afternoon after being shot, Dallas police said.
A second man also was shot to death at the scene.
Dallas police have not released any information on a motive for the fatal shooting. Dallas police identified the rapper as 22-year-old Antywon Dillard. The Dallas Morning News reported that he was known as BFG Straap.
The other victim was 26-year-old Cory Medina Lucien, according to Dallas police.
Dallas officers responded at about 3:30 p.m. Thursday to a shooting call in the 2800 block of Casey Street in Dallas. BFG Straap, who was best known for his song "I'm Good," was born on Jan. 7, 2000, while his mother was incarcerated, according to his website bio, and grew up impoverished. Straap gravitated toward music as a teen following the death of a close friend and began his music career in 2016. He first earned recognition with the release of his 2019 song “Las Vegas,” later collaborating with fellow DFW rappers Trapboy Freddy, Lil CJ Kasino, SSG Splurge and BigXThaPlug.
DaBaby producer Jetsonmade guided him early in his career after hearing the young hip-hop artist's signature cadence and skill for lyricism.
“Somebody bring me a bowl. I got the bottles, I got bottles coming,” he says looking into the phone camera lens. “Bring me a bowl. We smoking out the bowl. I promise everybody getting litty. Pull up on me, let’s get it. And find me an AirBnB plug, we poppin’ bottle all night. Y'all better not tell me to chill.”
No arrests have been made over Thursday’s shooting.
