BloodHound Q50, the Chicago rapper whose real name was Mikquale Cooper, was reportedly killed at the age of 22 in a deadly Fuller Park shooting. The rising artist had only been seriously pursuing music since 2023, and his sudden death has put his short but rapidly growing career and his final Instagram Story in the spotlight.
BloodHound Q50 had been building a name in Chicago’s drill music scene when his life was reportedly cut short in the early hours of Sunday, September 13. According to a preliminary Chicago police report, as many as six gunmen fired more than 50 rounds at a white Tesla at a BP gas station in Fuller Park. Cooper was reportedly sitting in the driver's seat when the attackers opened fire.
