Third rapper shot and killed in LA County in less than a month

LOS ANGELES — An Inglewood rapper died after he was shot multiple times by someone inside a dark SUV in L.A.'s Koreatown neighborhood late Monday night, according to reports.

KTTV-TV identified the victim as Half Ounce, who had released an album in May called "Gang Bangin."

Half Ounce is the third rapper shot and killed in Los Angeles County in less than a month. On Sept. 12, rapper PnB Rock, whose real name was Rakim Allen, was fatally shot during a botched robbery for the 30-year-old's jewelry while he was having lunch at Roscoe's House of Chicken & Waffles in South Los Angeles.
