California Rapper And Gang Member Gets Shot And Killed On Instagram Live

According to multiple outlets and police personnel, 21-year-old rapper Indian Red Boy was shot and killed on Thursday (July 8) while inside of his car. There are multiple videos circulating the internet, as we speak, that shows the now-late man talking to a friend on Instagram Live at the time and then getting shot while still on camera.

According to Lt. Ti Goetz of the Hawthorne police department, authorities were called to the 14100 block of Chadron Avenue around 4:10 p.m. local time. CBS Los Angeles confirmed this, as well. The Los Angeles County Fire Department added that the fatally shot man was even pronounced dead at the scene of the crime. Goetz later revealed that the coroner’s office identified the deceased shooting victim as the rapper, whose real name was Zerail Dijon Rivera.

“It appears to have been a walk-up shooting and he appears to have been targeted,” Goetz said before adding that he “appears to be a gang member.” Authorities are still looking for the suspect(s) who pulled the trigger.

City News Service quoted Hawthorne police Lieutenant Ti Goetz as saying the victim “appears to be a gang member” and “it appears to be a targeted walk-up shooting.”
