Friends including Justin Bieber and Keke Palmer mourned the rapper, who had performed at Nashville CannaFestival hours earlier.
Childhood friends and famous peers are mourning rapper Chris King, who died Saturday in Nashville, Tennessee, not long after performing at the Nashville CannaFestival.
The 32-year-old was fatally shot Saturday around 2:30 a.m. while in an alley with friends, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said in a news release.
Authorities added that the group was approached by three men who attempted to rob them when King and a 29-year-old man were shot. The group scattered in different directions, with King found later in the parking garage of the Hayes Street Hotel.
He was rushed to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and died.
“Love you bro. This one hurts,” Bieber wrote Saturday in a since-expired Instagram Story. “Please keep his family in your prayers. See you in paradise brother.”
