A chilling CCTV video of the shooting video has been making rounds on social media and it shows the rapper's last moments. In the video, an unknown man walks up to the rapper and shoots him in the head, and went off. Many people are calling on the police to arrest the suspects and or anyone involved in orchestrating the alleged hit swiftly.
Woke up still in disbelief. I don’t think he ever in a million years thought he’d go like this, on his own home ground, by his own people, premeditated. Justice for AKA💔
