(Reuters) - Atlanta rapper Bankroll Fresh, whose real name was Trentavious White, was shot dead outside a recording studio on Friday night, the Fulton County Medical Examiner's office said on Saturday.
White, 28, was shot just after 11 p.m. outside Street Execs Studios in north Atlanta, a spokeswoman at the medical examiner's office said.
The Atlanta Police Department did not confirm the identity of the gunshot victim, but said he was pronounced dead at the Hughes Spalding hospital after being taken there in an unknown vehicle. A large crowd of people fled the scene of the shooting when police arrived, and video evidence has been recovered, the police said in a brief statement.
The hip-hop artist was an associate of well-known Atlanta rapper 2 Chainz, who signed Bankroll Fresh to his independent record label in 2015, according to Popcorn entertainment website. His best-known song was "Hot Boy" from a 2014 mix-tape "Life of a Hotboy". |
