D12's Proof murdered

**imported_mega** · April 11th, 2006, 12:30 PM

Proof, a member of Eminem-fronted Detroit-based hip-hop sextet D12, was killed early Tuesday morning outside a Detroit nightclub, in a shooting that left another man in critical condition.

According to NBC News affiliate WDIV, Proof (whose

real name is DeShaun Holton) suffered a gunshot wound to the head at the CCC Club on East Eight Mile Road, near Gratiot Avenue. By the time police arrived, the club had been cleared out, but several witnesses have come forward to discuss the incident with investigators. A spokesperson for the Detroit police would not discuss the shooting, as the 32-year-old rapper's next of kin have yet to be notified of his murder.

Both victims (the other man's name has not been released) were transported to area hospitals; Proof was rushed to St. John Holy Cross Hospital, while the second victim, who is 35 and also sustained a gunshot to the head, was taken to St. John Hospital, where he's listed as being in critical condition. Proof, was pronounced dead on arrival.

Proof, Em's longtime friend, appeared in the film "8 Mile" as Lil' Tic; he also served as Eminem's best man back in January, when the rapper remarried his wife Kim Mathers (see "Eminem Remarries Ex-Wife Kim Mathers"). Eminem filed for divorce last week.

Police are searching for the suspected gunman; a description has not been made available. Detectives have asked that anyone with any information on the shooting come forward.

MTV News will have more on this breaking news throughout the day as the story continues to develop.

The person died.

Have some compassion.

**SWVA-Football** · April 11th, 2006, 11:10 PM

To have compassion for every person that dies would be a waste of my time, because in my book there are those who I feel deeply for, and those that - to me - are just another death of the trillions that've occured in this world.

To me, it's just another wangsta gangsta that's been killed due to violence. Tupac, Notorious B.I.G. ... nothing new in my book.

Whether they are in gangs or not there is someone grieving over losing a loved one. I understand that gangs can be violent and God knows I don't want them close to home. But you can take the meanest, violent people in the world and in most cases there is a mother, father, wife, husband or child that is suffering and hurting because their loved one is no longer here to see. You may not like them or what they are but show some respect for those hurting over their loss.

ok...you really do have to have something wrong with you man, he is in a rap group and he's black so automatically he's a thug and you don't care if he is dead or not...that's plain awful

but i guess that would be a popular belief...if you were a member of the nazi party circa the 1940's...i guess you believe in "the master race" too huh?

i hate it when the race card is played, but you are judging a man based solely on his profession and his skin color, that is racism

"To me, it's just another wangsta gangsta that's been killed due to violence"

alright...
1) wangsta gangsta...you makin up words now??
2) killed due to violence...ummm as opposed to killed due to kindness????

You obviously have never listened to D12 and this guy rap, a deaf man could come to the assumption that he was a thug.

What a surprise...another post showing your ignorance.

**imported_VTgal** · April 12th, 2006, 08:07 AM

Okay. That's cool. Believe what you want (was a racist comment though).

But why even comment the first time? You took the time to address this post yet having "compassion for every person that dies would be a waste" of your time.

"To me, it's just another wangsta gangsta that's been killed due to violence. Tupac, Notorious B.I.G. ... nothing new in my book."

That's like a black person or latino person saying, "Ah....another school shooting...just a buncha crackas going off on each other in an educational facility. Nothing new to me."
