NEW YORK — Urban radio and TV personality DJ Megatron, who built a career at hip-hop and R&B radio stations from Philadelphia to Boston and told viewers of a popular music TV show "What's Good," was shot to death early Sunday, according to his manager and police.

The BET cable television segment host was killed while heading to a store near his home on New York City's borough of Staten Island around 2 a.m., his manager Justin Kirkland, known as J. Smoove, said.

What's Good

Being out at 2 AM is "Not Good."

I’m starting to believe that the Hip-Hop community isn’t a very safe place.

Very few of those involved in rap/hip-hop seem to die from natural causes...

In that culture it is considered "natural causes."

How’d you ever guess?

'Cause the guy killed was not with the phone company?

In addition to his musical interests, he was apparently also a baseball fan

He also seemed to be a cross dresser. Maybe that is what got him in trouble. Hate Crime!

The police caught the guy who did it.

Fellow by the name of Elmer Fudd.

Turns out it was a simple hunting accident.

He heard Hip-Hop and thought he was a wabbit.

the world needs more stutes

It seems that 'stute' = 'mare' in German.

Nah, Optimus isn't a suspect.

He was on Cybertron at the time of the shooting, so his alibi is legit.
