(CBS) One of the "Teach me How to Dougie" rappers was pronounced dead late Sunday night.
Cali Swag District's M-bone was reportedly the victim of a fatal drive-by shooting in his hometown of Inglewood, Calif. Law enforcement officials have labeled the shooting a random act of violence.
TMZ reports that the 22-year-old rapper, born Montae Talbert, was sitting in his parked car in front of a liquor store in Inglewood at 11:32 p.m. on Sunday when the shots were heard. He was taken to UCLA Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
TMZ sources add that the shooter was driving alone down La Brea Avenue when he fired his gun. According to a KTLA report, the shooter, who was driving a red Mustang, drove off after firing his gun and soon returned to the scene.
Inglewood detectives are currently investigating the scene as it is still unclear how everything went down.
According to a statement by Lt. Michael Marshall, obtained by E! Online, Talbert was sitting in the passenger seat of his car when the shooter pulled up alongside him and unloaded "at least two rounds" into the car.
Police did not immediately identify M-Bone as the victim, pending notification of next of kin. TMZ reports confirmed his death early Sunday morning.
Earlier this morning, Cali Swag District's lead rapper, Smoove tweeted, "Ma life changed drastically in the. Blink of an eye rip mbone."
