Money, whose real name is Qamar Williams, is wanted for allegedly opening fire on an unidentified victim in a living room. A roommate claims the suspect was seen standing over the body of the victim, and when they ran to wake up the victim’s cousin they took the gun from Williams and forced him out the door.
Upon arriving at the scene, police discovered shell casings and guns. The victim was staying at his cousin’s residence, where the shooting took place, reports Complex.
Early reports from Dekalb County police have not released further details on the identity of the victim, but they did state that he was also a rapper from Cleveland and they likely knew each other. He was fatally shot in the head at around 8:30 a.m. on Monday.
Q Money has been absent from social media since Sunday (Apr. 14), when he teased the video for his currently unreleased song “Patron.”
Seven people were shot while he was filming the video for his song “Neat” in Cleveland last July.
“I wanted to bring Cleveland to the world,” he said at the time, stating that he only wanted to bring positivity to his city.
