Budding rapper BTB Savage was viciously gunned down in River Oaks, Houston, on Thursday evening, only hours after he had mocked an enemy, whose death he was linked to, on social media.
BTB Savage killed: Here’s what we know
Details on the shooting are still sketchy. However, reports confirmed the victim suffered fatal gunshot wounds in a coordinated ambush that occurred on San Felipe Street.
Information trickling through the media currently indicates BTB Savage was parked on the side of the road in his white Mercedes Benz when, seemingly out of the blue, a black Subaru pulled up beside him and two unidentified gunmen hopped out and unleashed a hail of bullets.
Based on video footage of the aftermath that surfaced on social media, BTB Savage may have sustained multiple gunshot wounds as his Mercedes-Benz was riddled with bullet holes from what may have been several assault rifles.

Hours before the shooting, BTB Savage was on social media flaunting his icy wristwatch in a kitchenette smeared with dry blood. From what we understand, the pictures BTB Savage posted on Thursday were taken at the scene of a robbery gone horribly wrong at his home several months ago.
During a recent interview with DJ Vlad, the First Day Out rapper revealed he and his girlfriend were targeted by a group of robbers, who had entered his home under the guise of seeking a collaboration.
However, things quickly escalated when the men tried to rob the rapper, who was with his child and girlfriend at the time. In the midst of a scuffle over the robbers’ firearms, BTB Savage’s girlfriend reportedly shot and killed at least one of the suspects.
It remains unclear at this time if the fatal shooting at BTB Savage’s home was linked, in any way, to his death.
It’s believed the suspects were still at large when this article was published.
