Surprising that headshot killed him, that far from any vital organs.

Affirmative sir. First he aspired, then expired. I would say that is about normal for Oakland.

The Jacka has left the building.
Another aspiring rapper lives up to stereotypes.

What’s in a name? Jacka? Short for Hijacker? Carjacker? A run of the mill thief? The Jackal? The Jackass? I’ll settle for The Jackass.

Anything that might speed along the death of rap is a good thing.

I didn’t know this fellow’s music (given I turn off rap music whenever it comes on, anyway). It is a shame when someone dies prematurely...

but anyone hanging around 94th and McArthur in Oakland is in the line of fire

probably multiple lines of fire

sorry to have to say

OUTSTANDING!!!

The BEST MOVE he could have done for his career!!! Getting shot, and ESPECIALLY killed, has launched dozens of careers for rappers. Now he can hold his head up high! Or maybe the morticians can hold his head up high. Whatever. He is now the REAL THING!
