Officers were called to the scene shortly after 10 p.m. and found Gant lying in the street suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

The late rapper released the music video for No Gunzone just a month before his death.

The video shows the rapper, at one point, singing about a murdered body – covered by a sheet – along a sidewalk with crime scene tape in the area.

Police have not made any arrests in this case. The motive and description of the suspects and their vehicle have not been released.

Gant rose to fame after releasing his song Life in 2014 with Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill.

He released his debut mixtape Cut from a Different Cloth later that year and was releasing music under PricelessLifestyle Records before his death.

One of his latest songs called No Gunzone was named after an Instagram account of the same name that promotes anti-violence efforts in the city.

Talk to CBS, her uncle Marcus Fox told the outlet: “Now you have a whole family that is just broken. They took something precious from us.

“Growing up on the streets of Philadelphia and daring to be different, that’s who he was. He took his own chance when no one else would have.

“How dare you, how can you go to sleep at night knowing that you did this to someone senselessly?”

Gant had frequently published articles about his faith in Islam and was killed during the holy month of Ramadan.

Fox continued: “Justice will be served. It is our holiest month of Ramadan. He was Muslim, so we know he is in heaven, but at the end of the day, we are still here in grief, shock and disbelief.

Several social media users have paid tribute on platforms X and Instagram since the brutal murder.
