A prominent Philadelphia rapper, who became known for the promotion of positive news, was announced in Juniata on Sunday afternoon, the authorities said.

The 30 -year -old Qidere Johnson from North Philadelphia, who went nickname LGP qua, was shot near the crossing of the streets of the M and Lucerne shortly before 4.40 p.m. When the officers arrived at the scene, he had already been brought to the Temple University Hospital, where he died a short time later, the PPD said.

The investigators confirmed that the alleged motif was robbery. The examiner reported that the murderers apparently hang after chains on Johnson's neck.

No arrests were made, and the public prosecutor refused to discuss the case, citing the sensitivity of an open examination during a press conference of a district prosecutor about the violence at the weekend. Everyone is asked to call or write the tip line of the PPD under 215-686 tips (8477).

Johnson, who had 373,000 supporters on Instagram, often knocked on his experiences in a neighborhood that grew up from gun gear.

One of his recent music videos, which was uploaded to YouTube in June 2023, is a song for a song entitled “Dod” for “Death of Drill”, a style of graphic hip shop, which has been blamed for the fact that he heated up an increase in violence among young people.

“Turn on the messages, Youngin 'has fallen onto the street,” he begins. “Man, that's the first thing I see. All murder. You killed the norm, but that is not normal for me.”

Several well-known members of the hip-hop community, including Meek Mill and Swizz Beatz, complained about Johnson's death.

“On Mother's Day, ambitious young bulls like this is a kind of Philly species from SMFH … S – T will make you different !!!!!!!” Mill said in an Instagram story. “Prayers to your family and we collect some of them weapons – not sad out there.”

Johnson was among several people who were killed at the weekend, including 12-year-old Ethan Parker, who was accidentally shot when he made music with other teenagers. The 17-year-old Marvin Playfair was charged with murder because of an “extreme form of ruthlessness” when dealing with a weapon, the prosecutors said on Monday.

PPD data indicates that 74 people were killed in murder data this year, which declined about 21% compared to the same point in 2024.

Advice, support for peer and victim representation are victims, family members and others affected by weapons. For more information, see Metrophiladelphia.com/gun-riolence resources.
