Several fans have taken to social media to express deep sadness over the crushing news of the death of Atlanta rapper Lil Marlo.
According to a report by TMZ, the 27-year-old musician, whose real name was Rudolph Johnson, was found unresponsive by the police, right inside his car.
The police discovered the rapper had been shot dead, after they responded to a call about a car accident on Interstate 285 in downtown Atlanta at 2.06am on Sunday.
A video posted on Twitter shows the aftermath of the shooting.
Meanwhile, the police are yet to ascertain if the shooting was a drive-by incident, whether he was shot inside the car, or if he was shot at another location and crashed trying to seek help.
