Cali Swag District rapper M-Bone, 22, was killed last night in a drive-by shooting at a Los Angeles liquor store.

As of now, cops say the shooting seems to be random, and that the rapper was not a specific target. TMZ elaborates :

M-Bone — aka Montae Talbert from the rap group Cali Swag District — was next to his car in front of an Inglewood, CA liquor store at 11:32 PM Sunday when shots rang out. Our sources say the shooter was driving down La Brea Avenue alone in his car when he fired.

Inglewood detectives are investigating, but right now it looks like M-Bone was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

M-Bone was hit twice at close range, and was taken to UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he was pronounced dead. Fellow Cali Swag District rapper C-Smoove posted the following tweet early this morning:

“Ma life changed drastically in the. Blink of an eye rip bone.”

The group planned to release their debut album, featuring their hit “Teach Me How to Dougie.”
