The death of a 42-year-old man who was found dead inside a burning vehicle in Milwaukee is now being investigated as a homicide.
Authorities identified the victim as Lamonn C. Young of Milwaukee, also known as rapper Fatboi Gwalla Gwalla.
Young's body was found inside a burning vehicle near Hawley Road and Martin Drive early Tuesday, May 18.
The medical examiner's office previously ruled his death a homicide.
Family members said they wanted Young remembered as a father, husband, artist and entrepreneur.
Young’s death comes as violence in the city this year continues to drive concern among city leaders.
“A lot of talent is gone, it’s gone way too soon,” activist Tracey Dent told CBS 58, reflecting on the violence that has taken the lives of people like Young. “It’s a sense of urgency right now because people are scared, you know, they’re scared to come out of their house, because someone is getting shot or killed every single day.”
