Rapper chased by men in a car in Midtown and shot dead.

Rapper life expectancy in Houston is very low.

Cool White Corvette damaged by assassination of another rapper in Houston. RIP.

Who knew being a rapper was such a deadly profession in Houston?

So don’t look at the other driver if he revs his engine at a stop light, especially if wife and kids in the car.

And to think I grew up about 30 miles or so from Houston back in the 60's-70's and would go to Houston all the time to movies, run around, Astroworld, Astrodome for games and such. I try to avoid all parts of Houston now like the plague.

I lived there from the fifth grade through the eighth and I am of the same mindset as you. My son lives with his wife and my two grand kids in Pearland and I must visit there to see them. If not for that I would never go anywhere near that place.

Man threw a cinder block through their back door late Saturday night. Entered their home. Began stealing and destroying their home. Both husband and wife tried to stop him. He beat them with a hammer. Husband hopes to be able to see again.

Maybe they will be armed next time.

Apparently he was armed.

I guess a lesson in firing sooner than later.
