At least one rapper was killed due to shooting every year as the hip-hop community, which often glorifies violence through music, has been closely associated with images of gun crime.

AceShowbiz - Archie Eversole is another rapper whose life was cut short by the one who's close to him. The Atlanta-based hip-hop artist was murdered by his own brother. Shockingly, he was shot in the face while he was asleep.
Archie, who was hospitalized after being shot, was able to respond to cops' questions before he took his last breath on April 3. According to the police report, the 37-year-old artist told cops someone had kicked open his bedroom door and he was awakened by a gunshot to his face on March 25, but he couldn't see who shot him.
His brother Alexander Krause, who initially told cops he was fine and just checking on his brother, was later arrested at Archie's home after police noticed fresh blood covering the front door and a trail of blood from the stairs to Archie's room where the blood-spattered door had been busted through. There was also blood all over the bed and the wall.
