Rapper Kee Riches, who recently passed away in Compton, California, died on September 24. Unfortunately, the artist was only 23 years old when he passed away.
Ice-T tweeted about the escalating gun violence in the city:
“If you notice, LA rappers don’t wear a lot of jewelry.” Me, Snoop, Cube, Dre, Game and Kendrick. The list goes on and on. Not because we are poor. Rapper or not, LA is a dangerous city. Why put yourself there?”
More details on Kea Riches’ death
Around 9 p.m., the rapper was shot in the 14th block of South Chester Avenue. According to sources, officers responded to reports of a shot victim and found Riches severely injured when they arrived. The incident injured two other people, including a 29-year-old man named Robert Leflore Jr. and an unidentified woman. The woman was taken to the hospital and survived, but the other two, including Riches, were pronounced dead at the scene. Any evidence linking the individuals or motives for the crime remains unclear. Given the series of events involving rappers in recent months, it’s possible this was a robbery, but investigators have yet to confirm this.
All about Kee Riches
Kee Riches spent most of his youth at Compton’s Westside. He is an avid sports fan, he started rapping at the age of 15 or 16 and also founded his record label and clothing line ‘Get Rich’. His affection for the Compton neighborhood is evident as he constantly strives for the development of the city. When asked about it, he once said:
“A lot of people often tell me that I stand out [by] help my neighborhood, that you don’t really see a lot of artists and young people who really want to give back or help their community when they really have nothing.” “I have something to offer, so I want to offer something.”
Riches used to give school bags to students the summer before they started school, as well as presents for Christmas. His mentality is sometimes compared to that of Nipsey Hussle, who passed away in 2019. Riches said after Hussle’s death that his biggest regret was not being able to meet Hussle. In an interview with LA TACO, he said:
“Nipsey Hussle is the embodiment of the street soldier, the real trickster.” He is a man, a parent and a fraudster.
