Authorities in Philadelphia are offering a $20,000 reward to find the alleged killer of a 28-year-old rapper who was shot dead outside his Brewerytown home late Sunday night.
A surveillance camera caught the moment rapper Phat Geez walked up to a parked vehicle in the 1200 block of North Taney Street before engaging in an argument with the occupants.
The person inside the car then fired several shots at the rapper and kept firing even after he fell to the ground.
The rapper, whose real name is Derrick Gant, was pronounced dead at the Penn Presbyterian Medical Center at 10:30 p.m.
“He was a real good dude,” family friend Tony Roberts said. “Kind heart. Always giving. Nobody had a bad thing to say about him.”
“It’s tragic to lose your life like this in front of your home. It hurts. This will be felt for years. Something like this you just don’t get over.”
