Boosie Badazz Performance Cancelled After Two Men Are Shot And Killed
A scheduled performance from Boosie Badazz was cancelled after two men were shot and killed at the event before the rapper took the stage.
According to TMZ, the Baton Rouge native was set to perform at The Pull Up Car Show in Pacific Junction, IA. before things took a violent turn.
The affair, set to be filled with muscle cars, drag races, and live performances from various artists, was ended early due to the shooting, leaving the rapper to take his talents elsewhere in the midwestern city. Rob49 and Rich The Factor were also on the event’s lineup.
Per TMZ, both of the men who were killed were from Omaha, NE. Circumstances that resulted in the fatal shooting remain unclear. The Des Moines Register names the victims as Marcus L. Johnson, 28, and Charles A. Williams Jr., 27, noting the incident occurred in the parking lot. An Omaha Police helicopter was utilized to assist in the search for at least three suspects, reportedly in a black Mercedes sedan.
