The city already had a notorious history for rappers, and in the last month at least two more artists have been slain here.
Latauriisha O’Brien, 32, who performed under the name “Half Ounce,” was found fatally shot late Monday, police and his family said, the latest of several rap notables who have been killed in Los Angeles in the past two years.
Los Angeles police said officers responded to multiple calls of shots fired around 11:30 a.m. in the Koreatown neighborhood and found a man who had fatally shot in front of an apartment building.
The slain man’s family confirmed to NBC Los Angeles that the person killed was O’Brien, a father of three who worked at UPS while he attended school.
The Los Angeles County medical examiner’s office also confirmed that O’Brien was the victim. An examination was pending Tuesday, an office spokesperson said.
