FBG Cash, a prominent US rapper, was fatally shot and killed in Chicago on Friday, June 10, at the age of 31.

According to the Chicago Police Department, the rapper, whose real name was Tristan Hamilton, was shot multiple times while sitting in a vehicle at approximately 5:32 a.m. The tragic incident took place in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood on the 1600 block of West 81st Street. A 29-year-old female who was also in the car sustained gunshot wounds but survived the attack.

Reports indicate that a black four-door sedan, potentially a Cadillac, pulled up to the victims’ vehicle. An unknown assailant emerged from the sedan, opened fire, and then fled the scene in the same car.

FBG Cash suffered severe gunshot injuries and was rushed to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead upon arrival. The female victim was in critical condition after being struck in the left arm and upper back. She was also transported to Advocate Christ Medical Center for treatment.

Law enforcement officials are currently conducting an investigation into the shooting. Although no suspects have been identified or arrested, authorities are actively pursuing leads. The motive behind the fatal attack remains unknown.

FBG Cash had recently released his debut album, The Heart of the Streets, in January 2021. Prior to his untimely death, he was set to launch a new song and video titled “Crazy Lane” on the day he was killed. He was recognized as one of the leading drill rappers in Chicago.

Tragically, FBG Cash’s passing occurred less than two years after the fatal shooting of another FBG rapper, FBG Duck, in broad daylight in August 2020. The perpetrators of FBG Duck’s murder were reported to be associated with O-Block, a rival gang in Chicago.
