Another up-and-coming rapper has fallen victim to gun violence.
Police in Sacramento, California said Christopher Treadwell, who performed as Bris, was shot to death early Sunday. He was 24.
“The victim was pronounced deceased on scene,” reads a press release. “Officers also determined that there was a related solo vehicle collision that had occurred prior to the shooting.”
Bris was killed only days after he released a video for his single “Need Hammy.” Last year, the rapper dropped the mixtape 10:42, a collaboration with G-Man.
Bris is the latest on a growing list of young rappers that have been shot in the last year.
Among them are Tray Savage, who died after being shot last week in Chicago at 26, and Houdini, who was shot and killed in broad daylight on a downtown Toronto street last month. He was 21.
In January, 19-year-old fourty4double0 – one half of rap duo Tallup Twinz – was shot to death inside an Airbnb rental in downtown Toronto.
Rapper Pop Smoke, 20, was shot and killed in Los Angeles in February.
Last December, Toronto area rappers Bvlly and Why-S were killed only hours apart in separate incidents in Ontario and B.C.
Chicago rapper Lil Reese, 26, was shot in the neck in November and, last June, teen rapper C Glizzy was shot in the head in Pompano Beach, Florida. Both survived.
Earlier this month, Toronto rapper Bizz Loc dropped a track in which he addresses the violence in the city’s rap scene. It’s titled “Is It Worth It?"
