Maryland rapper Goonew has reportedly been shot and killed.
The up-and-coming rhymer’s demise reportedly occurred in District Heights, Md. on Friday afternoon (March 18). It was reported by the Prince George County Police Division on Saturday (March 19). “Murder Unit detectives are working to determine and arrest the suspect(s) who fatally shot a person Friday within the unincorporated part of District Heights,” a press release launched on the division’s weblog reads. “The sufferer is 24-year-old Markelle Morrow of Washington, DC. A reward of as much as $25,000 is being supplied for data resulting in an arrest and indictment on this case.”
The identify given by police matches the identify of the writer on Goonew’s YouTube and Pandora pages. Moreover, The Washington Put up studies that they’ve confirmed the rapper’s passing along with his supervisor.
The tragic incident was first reported on Friday night time by the Prince George County Police Division who initially broke information of the capturing by way of Twitter. On the time, they didn’t disclose the sufferer’s identify.
“We’re investigating a deadly capturing that occurred within the 3400 block of Walters Lane in District Heights,” the PGCPD tweeted. “At approx. 5:40 pm, officers responded to the world for a report of a capturing. As soon as on scene, they situated an grownup male affected by a gunshot wound. The sufferer was taken to a hospital for all times [threatening] accidents. At approx. 7:30 pm, the sufferer was pronounced lifeless.”
Goonew’s reported demise comes lower than three years after a capturing incident that left the rapper hospitalized in 2019.
Rappers have been providing their condolences to the rhymer by way of social media, together with fellow DMV MCs Cordae and IDK who each posted R.I.P. tweets in remembrance of Goonew.
Goonew, who was recognized for his low-tone circulate, had been making noise within the DMV over the previous few years with tasks like Licensed Goon (2017), Huge 64 (2018), Goonwick (2018), Again From Hell (2019) and Quick Mood (2021). In late February, he launched his most up-to-date single “Again Inna Combine” on Huge 64 Leisure.
