Proof from D12 Shot and Killed. R.I.P. Big Proof :(
-
DETROIT - Proof, a member of rap group D12 and a close friend of Eminem, was shot to death early Tuesday at a nightclub along Eight Mile Road, a publicist said.
The death of Proof — whose real name is Deshaun Holton — was confirmed by Dennis Dennehy, the publicist for D12's label, Interscope Records.
"Memorial service arrangements are still being made, and his friends and family would appreciate privacy during this difficult time," Dennehy said in a statement.
Proof was the best man at Eminem's wedding in January and often appeared alongside the superstar rapper at concerts and public appearances. He also appeared in the film "8 Mile."
Detroit police wouldn't confirm that Proof was killed, but said two people were shot in the head — one fatally — early Tuesday at a nightclub on Eight Mile.
An argument at the CCC nightclub escalated into gunshots, Detroit police spokesman James Tate said.
Wende Berry, a spokeswoman for St. John Health System, said Holton was dead on arrival at St. John Conner Creek, an outpatient treatment facility. Berry confirmed that he had a gunshot wound.

the other guy died too.
what happened was proof was drunk and lost some pool game or something, he went to the other guy who was the bartender and they argued or something, then he left and came back with a gun and shot the guy in his head. then the guy's cousin shot proof in his head too.
proof died and the guy survived, he was in hospital for a week and he died later on. rip proof is now being sued by the other guy's family, they want his estate n all. -
shoving things back is a no-no.Originally posted by zerofreeze:^For goodness sake, hate all you want, but ultimately a guy is killed and by posting that insensitive and brainless comment u just proved yourself to be the biggest moron.

His death, though a sad thing in itself, was a sign of the excesses of whatever Bear said.
If it forces people to wake up and see the hedonism and the indulgence in gangland glamour, then he will not have died in vain.
All these gangsta rap is seriously twisted and a sign of moral, and intellectual decay. -
if what bizzarerocksD12 says is true, then there isn't too much to mourn about someone who doesn't see anything wrong with shooting someone else in the head when he's drunk.
