Most rappers are murdered but the death of Money Mitch came as a surprise.
Up-and-coming rapper Marcus Pettis, 23, was in a car that was stopped by deputies around 4 p.m. Friday near Evergreen Drive and Ninth Street in Lake Park, north of West Palm Beach.
Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Frank DeMario, at a news conference Friday, said Pettis shot at deputies and that they returned fire, but did not hit Pettis. DeMario said Pettis fled and then fatally shot himself.
DeMario said the sheriff’s office had probable cause to arrest Pettis in connection with a murder investigation but wouldn’t provide any additional information.
It’s sad because another life was taken and who knows what really initiated the gunfire.
