Bound to be a Anti Gay killer
Maybe he should have stayed in Miami.

he was riding his motorbike at 5 am and just happened to come across a gay hating gunman who recognised him on a moving motorbike and in a split instant decided to kill him?

He was targeted

It's more likely, as Arista pointed out, that he was specifically targeted and the gunman was watching him than a random gunman just decided to go out and shoot a stranger at 5am.....imo anyway

You don't put your head above the parapet in some countries yet unfortunately, maybe he thought being a rapper would exclude him, young life snuffed out

[Crimson Dynamo]

I doubt the gunman has made his motive public so it could be for other reasons like drugs or debt I suppose

It's a genre of music associated with hate, violence, crime and drugs. The guy was controversial. It doesn't excuse what happened to him, but no-one is safe if they play with fire.

[Nicky91]

it doesn't need to be a hate crime at all, recently here in my country also a rapper shot dead Feis or Faisal Messyeh, who had debts with the criminal underworld

and it happens so often that the criminals here assassinate each other

[Caution]

You’d constitute being gay as ‘playing with fire’?

Puerto Rico is probably one of the more liberally-minded and vibrantly gay parts of the US :shrug:

The area has apparently already had 22 homicides in the first 9 days of January, so I don't think it's a 'gay thing'. An FBI official recently declared that the island is facing a “crisis of violence.”

RIP to the guy, though.

no the genre of music

I take it Honey G is now in hiding?
