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.
Unfortunately, Chicago rapper 051 Melly was later pronounced dead as a result of being shot at the party. 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.
In the tweet above, it indicates she was hit in the foot, while Melly was hit in the chest, abdomen, and groin.
RapCatchUp’s report also indicates that Williams was transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center. He died there due to his injuries as a result of the shooting.
At the initial time of the reports, there was no official confirmation by police that it was Williams aka 051 Melly, but appeals surfaced on social media asking for help regarding his murder.
Per RapCatchUp, 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.
Speculation about what happened to Williams continues to arrive on social media after the 27-year-old’s tragic death.
Idk wat happned but wt I do know is the government is controlling the media outlet on the situation because it is stat3d 2 shkt 1 dead 1 women survived yet it’s at least 2 guys laying on the floor shot melly is not the one in the pink hoodie nor is that a female shot in the ankle so it’s more to it rest up melly hope dey pop every last one of dem n****z
Def . just a white coller type writing a story he knows nothing about… Sad …
I know what happen
what more do you know that we dont?
I’m sorry this happened to him. He wasn’t an angel but still this was unnecessary, especially if the rumor is true that he died over a dice game gone wrong between himself and a guy named Nate. It’s already been two years but it still disappoints you like it just happened. I know karma’s a b***h and whoever was behind this (besides Nate) will get theirs..RIP Melly.
