It is insane how many young rappers are being shot and some killed since we came out of lockdown from the pandemic.
It seems like there is a new story every day about a rapper being killed. They aren’t even sophisticated murders. Most of them happen in broad daylight in the middle of the day.
Some are happening in crowded areas with many witnesses.
It is insane.
Miami rapper Baby Cino is the latest to be gun down, and the killers did it right outside of jail.
Timothy Starks, a 20-year-old rapper known as “Baby Cino,” walked out of a Miami-Dade jail on Wednesday afternoon after posting bond on a gun charge. Minutes later, as the red Nissan he was riding in turned onto the Palmetto Expressway, he was suddenly ambushed by a gunman in another car in a wild daylight shooting in the middle of traffic.
Starks died in the hail of gunfire, shot in the head. He was still wearing the wristband given to inmates at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
Miami-Dade police on Thursday publicly identified Starks and a friend who picked him up from jail, Dante’ Collins Banks, 20, who also was wounded in the attack. Detectives have not identified a suspect, but did say “a dark-colored vehicle was seen fleeing the area at a high rate of speed.”
The shooter fired at least 40 times.
Who tipped off the shooter that Starks was being released?
It certainly wasn’t a coincidence that they knew he was getting out of jail and likely followed him from jail. Are the cops involved in this in some way?
There are so many questions and not enough answers. There is too much violence going on, and young people are losing their lives way too soon.
