Crime scene at Chicago’s South Evans Avenue, June 19th, 2020.
Rising Chicago-based rapper and Glo Gang member Tray Savage was killed earlier today by unknown assailants. The Chief Keef associate was declared dead shortly after being shot multiple times in his Chicago neighborhood.
The following is a developing story. Please check back as we learn additional details.
Tray Savage passed away just hours ago at the University of Chicago Medical Center from multiple gunshot wounds; the rapper was shot while driving in Chicago by unknown assailants. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the rapper had just dropped off his girlfriend on the 8100 block of South Evans Avenue before getting gunned down.
Tray Savage, whose real name is Kentray Young, quickly lost control of his vehicle and smashed into several parked cars, according to a preliminary police report. The shots reportedly hit Savage in both the shoulder and head, with Young caught completely by surprise. An autopsy is expected to declare the death a homicide.
Savage was signed by prominent Chicago rapper Chief Keef, and was an original member of Keef’s Glo Gang. The rapper enjoyed some notoriety and attention within the hip hop community and Chicago scene, but was yet to truly break out on a serious level. Sadly, Young was murdered in the same South Side Chicago neighborhood where he lived.
Savage first started getting attention back in 2014, particularly following the release of his single, ‘Trap’. Just last year, Tray Savage released MHGS, a 12-track album.
Witnesses connected the shooting to a white SUV driving in Chicago’s Chatham neighborhood, but currently, there isn’t much else to go by. It’s also unclear what motives the killers had. Chicago police have quickly ruled this a homicide, but haven’t released any details on suspects or their investigation.
More as this develops.
I am white, and I apologize. Slavery started by black Africans and imported to the US is the reason this man lost his life. I stand in solidarity with the black peoples and invite them to burn down my dollar store.
It is my fault. I know this because CNN tells me it is my fault.
So, where is BLM? Oh. Nowhere? Can someone explain to me how black lives matter to BLM? Almost all of the murders of blacks are done by black people on other black people. And Chicago is one of the murder capitals of black murder.
Where is BLM? CNN says we should all shout it over and over again. Where are they? Oh. BLM doesn’t care? About black lives?
Got it. maybe they should change their name to Hypocrites ‘r Us.
good riddance to this basketball-american
