Shortly after the drive-by killing of his bandmate, Cali Swag District's C-Smoove tweeted "Ma life changed drastically in the. Blink of an eye rip bone."

This is KTLA's report, quoting from TMZ with some details:

"Rapper M-Bone of the Cali Swag District has reportedly been shot to death in Inglewood. The 22-year-old, whose real name was Montae Talbert, died Sunday night, TMZ is reporting. It's believed the shooting happened outside a liquor store on La Brea in Inglewood. Inglewood Police Department officials confirm that a young man was shot to death while sitting in a parked car in front of the liquor store Sunday evening. Police say the suspect pulled up in red Mustang and opened fire. The victim was struck twice at close range and pronounced dead at UCLA Medical Center. Witnesses say the Mustang drove off and then returned to the scene, almost as if to make sure the victim was dead."

Other rappers are mourning the loss of the young hip-hopper:
