Rapper Lil Yase shot dead after leaving San Francisco recording studio as body found miles from where he was last seen
RAPPER Lil Yase was shot dead after leaving a San Francisco recording studio and his body was found miles from where he was last seen.
The fatal shooting of the 25-year-old on Saturday morning – whose real name was Mark Antonyyo Alexander – has not been solved by authorities there.
Yase’s remains were discovered in the East Bay, miles away from where he was last seen at a recording studio in San Francisco, reported TMZ.
The California rapper reportedly left the Marin County building at around midnight and said he would be right back.
About an hour and a half later, it emerged that he’d been shot dead somewhere in the East Bay.
TMZ cited sources who were left baffled by his killing because Yase had no known enemies in the area.
Insiders said he was purely focussed on rapping, promoting his label Highway 420 Productions, and gaming.
Yesterday, Yase shared a photo of himself enjoying the Thanksgiving celebrations on Instagram.
“If my n**** trippin den I’m trippin it’s up wit UNK
#HappyThanksGivin
” he captioned the shot.
He started out at just 18 years old using a borrowed iPad to make music videos according to AllMusic.com, before “Get It In” propelled him to stardom in 2015.
His string of hits included “No Diss,” “Demon,” “What You Mean,” “Yeah Yeah,” “Furl,” “Bum B****,” “Mad,” “Workin” among others.
