(AllHipHop News) Aspiring rapper Damond Dawson, 23, was murdered while filming a video about killing people in Foster Park on the the South Side of Chicago.

Nicknamed Thugga, Dawson was shot and killed while filming “Two Techs and a 50 Shot” with friends after midnight.

An unidentified man walked to the film crew and opened fire leaving Dawson as the only one killed. Four others were wounded, one of which shot 9 times.

The entire incident was caught on tape and the equipment was turned over to police.

One other rapper Foreign Lyfe, who was Dawson’s friend, explained what happened in his own words.

“I heard my homie say that he had seen somebody pulling up or whatever. We turned around and look back again, quick as we looked back, started shooting. Shots coming from everywhere,” Lyfe said.
