"SOHH.com has just learned that Proof of D12 was shot and killed in the 8 mile section of Detroit early this morning. Though details are still sketchy, sources say Proof (born DeShaun Holton) was shot at a night club called Triple C's on 8 mile and Gratiot around 4.am. A SOHH.com source in Detroit revealed that another person was struck during the shooting. The second victim is said to be in critical condition. Though hospital authorities have yet to release the name of this victim, the unconfirmed word is that Bizarre of D12 was also shot. Bizarre is yet to be accounted for by his colleagues. Proof was taken to St. John Holy Cross Hospital while the second victim was taken to St. John Hospital. According to police, he succumbed to a gunshot wound to the head. There's no word whether Proof's slaying is part of Detroit's growing Hip-Hop war. This past December, Eminem protégé Obie Trice was shot in the head during a road rage incident. According to Michigan police, Trice was driving northbound with his girlfriend on the Lodge Freeway in Detroit at around 1am Saturday morning when another car approached and shots were fired. Trice was hit in the head, but managed to exit the freeway in the Southfield suburb where his girlfriend flagged police. Last April, budding rapper Blade Icewood was killed in the D's rap war. Icewood was sitting in a wheelchair aboard his silver Range Rover when an unidentified gunman pulled up next to the vehicle and opened fire into the truck. The incident took place at West 7 Mile Road and Faust. The driver of the Range exited the vehicle as shots rang out. Icewood was pronounced dead at the scene. Proof was known as Eminem's longtime right hand man. Known for his freestyle ability, the Detroit emcee also served as Slim's hype man during concerts. "

Eminem has already filed for ANOTHER divorce from the same chick??

everybody go check out "Kurt Kobain"

its like track 20 off the album

4/11/2006 11:38:02 AM

he was definitely the best emcee in D12 (next to Em)

4/11/2006 11:41:40 AM

that fucking sucks

he was way underrated

he killed most every verse he had in D12

if you doubt that, you need to go back and listen again

well

we prolly need about one more rapper to die this year to fill the annual quota

maybe you would give a shit if this was World of Warcraft

oh well

4/11/2006 12:05:06 PM

Mediocre rappers everywhere are sleeping with one eye open.

4/11/2006 12:08:05 PM

i think the correct analogy would be

maybe i would give a shit if it was a world of warcraft developer?

probably

but only because chances are that guy wouldnt actually deserve to be shot

where as thugs are thugs no matter how rich.

oh well

4/11/2006 12:08:58 PM

anybody who plays enough WoW deserves to be shot

4/11/2006 12:10:48 PM

oh

so he deserved getting shot because he was a "thug."

i got you now

4/11/2006 12:11:14 PM

^,^^ agreed

4/11/2006 12:13:11 PM

well maybe they dont deserve to get shot

but they shouldnt be surprised.

4/11/2006 12:15:27 PM

Maybe nobody deserves to get shot

but when it's these third-string motherfuckers, it's hard for me to give a shit.

4/11/2006 12:20:48 PM

third string popularity wise maybe so

but shit, Big L wasnt a popular emcee when he was shot does that mean it doesnt matter

or Hodge being shot...he sucked as an NBA player so who cares

4/11/2006 12:26:37 PM

lol i didn't know that the dude's name was Proof, so when i saw the thread title i thought you were posting proof that ALL of D12 was murdered

4/11/2006 12:33:42 PM

Nigga fuck you, me and Swift got plans to jump you
Type of nigga to shake your hand and stomp you

4/11/2006 1:02:40 PM

D12 = 6 Guys - 1 = D10?

4/11/2006 1:05:16 PM

That sucks....he was definately the best mc behind Em.

4/11/2006 2:47:58 PM

WHO KILLED CHRIS ROCK?

4/11/2006 3:13:42 PM

This fucking sucks...I know Bugz (one of Eminem's good rapper friends) was in D12 until he was shot and killed in 1999. Another good friend of Eminem's, Obie Trice, was shot in December of this past year.
This shit is too damn serious.

I also find it very ironic that Proof is the one that dies in the music video for Eminem's song "Like Toy Soldiers."

4/11/2006 3:32:02 PM

Is Obie Trice still alive? I just saw a commercial this morning for some movie or tv show he was in i think. I didnt hear anything about that.

4/11/2006 3:45:38 PM

yeah

he's working on his new album

video is out soon

4/11/2006 3:46:31 PM

too bad mediocre rappers like pac and big didnt sleep with one eye open

well big had that evil eye so who knows if he even couldve done that

and pac probably had a bunch of dried jizz in his eyes from all his time in prison

4/11/2006 5:12:11 PM

listen son

you do not mock west coast rappers

this is serious business

4/11/2006 5:14:12 PM

Just because someone raps doesnt make them a thug. And why does anyone deserve to be shot? This was someone's son, father, husband.

Its a sad day for me, he was one of my favorite MCs

some poeple on this site =

4/11/2006 6:02:17 PM

if he was an accountant ... none of this would have happened

4/11/2006 6:51:30 PM

"An altercation inside a Detroit nightclub led to the death of D-12 rapper Proof after an argument allegedly turned into a gunfight, leaving a bouncer wounded, according to sources. A source that requested anonymity told AllHipHop.com that Proof was in the club after-hours when a heated verbal argument between Proof and a bouncer allegedly broke out and escalated. Proof was shot and killed around 4:30 am on April 11 and the bouncer was seriously wounded, both with gunshots to the head. "Proof knocked dude down and stood over him with gun in hand," a source close to Proof told AllHipHop.com. "Proof shot first. The bouncer on the ground didn't shoot Proof another bouncer did. Proof was shot 4 times. Twice in the head and twice in the chest/stomach area." Police have identified the second man as 35-year-old Keith Bender. Bender is alive, but is still in critical condition. "Dude [Bender] is on life support and not expected to live at all," the source continued. Investigators are still trying to piece together details of the shooting but have stated they believe two guns were used in the shooting. According to sources, Proof was licensed to carry his weapon. Officers have frequently been called to the club, taking 18 incident reports since 1996. The club was raided in December of 2005 for selling alcohol to minors and Proof's murder was the third time a shooting had occurred at or near the club."
