The fact that they used his mugshot instead of a regular picture of him is nuts

Damn. Knew it was coming, but still surprising. Definitely one of the most disrespectful rappers of all time, but still a victim of the streets in his own right.

This must stop.. it’s not gangsta it’s not masculine it’s not wise its not hard it’s not who we are as black people. This is lack of love for oneself, family and community

I live in Canada and know what led up to his demise! Do better officers.

Is the reporter just another man like Caitlin Catfish Clark?

Its a shame to see these dudes keep killing each other, instead putting all their focus on music

[ckrissckross]

I believe the ones he was with were loud on purpose to get him out of that air bnb ..

I know Charles wasn't exactly a good boy. But I loved some of his music and no one deserves this. You man need to stop this gang gang bullshit for real for real. RIP Foolio. GG bro.

I just keep asking myself.What will make you go?Celebrate your birthday somewhere else.Why not celebrate it somewhere?Where you know you protected and you're safe

[djlinkzzz]

Why in this footage there’s less bullet holes in the windshield. In others there’s more and they actually still have him in the car in the footage?
