Facebook Live Video Of Rapper 051 Melly Shot Dead In Chicago During A Party
Occurred On September 1, 2019 In Chicago, Illinois (USA).
A 27 year old rapper named 051 Melly (who’s real name is Yarmel Williams), was killed during a house party in the early hours of the morning.
According to a report from Hip Hop Lately, the shooting occurred in the early hours of Sunday, September 1. Williams was attending a house party located at 6107 S St. Lawrence in the South Side of Chicago. Melly and one of his friends were inside the home during the party as gunshots erupted.
In the disturbing video above, someone is also heard yelling “call an ambulance” as it appears someone is lying on the floor after the shooting.
Melly was transported to University of Chicago Medical Center for his injuries but was later pronounced dead.
So far, no suspects have been arrested for the incident.
In a YouTube video from RapCatchUp, they report that “at least one person” started to open fire inside the party venue. The gunfire not only hit Melly but reportedly a 34-year-old woman as well. It was indicated that she was hit in the foot, while Melly was hit in the chest, abdomen, and groin.
Police reportedly said witnesses at the party were uncooperative in efforts to determine what happened.
051 Melly didn’t officially pursue a rap career, but many feel that Williams could have been successful had he done so. He was known for his Chicago affiliations and rumored connections to several shootings.
In Brazil, members of what looks like Comando Velrmelho (The Red Command), based on the “V” sign used by the killers, beheaded and dismembered two presumed rivals.
The nighttime butchery shows the traffickers use machetes to decapitate the men and cut off their limbs, which are then lined up to form a CV.
