D12's Proof Shot And Killed At Detroit Club
Proof, a member of Eminem-fronted Detroit-based hip-hop sextet D12, was killed early Tuesday morning outside a Detroit nightclub, in a shooting that left another man in critical condition.According to NBC News affiliate WDIV, Proof (whose real name is DeShaun Holton) suffered a gunshot wound to the head at the CCC Club on East Eight Mile Road, near Gratiot Avenue. By the time police arrived, the club had been cleared out, but several witnesses have come forward to discuss the incident with investigators. A spokesperson for the Detroit police would not discuss the shooting, as the 32-year-old rapper's next of kin have yet to be notified of his murder.
Both victims (the other man's name has not been released) were transported to area hospitals; Proof was rushed to St. John Holy Cross Hospital, while the second victim, who is 35 and also sustained a gunshot to the head, was taken to St. John Hospital, where he's listed as being in critical condition. Proof, was pronounced dead on arrival.
Proof, Em's longtime friend, appeared in the film "8 Mile" as Lil' Tic; he also served as Eminem's best man back in January, when the rapper remarried his wife Kim Mathers (see "Eminem Remarries Ex-Wife Kim Mathers"). Eminem filed for divorce last week.
Police are searching for the suspected gunman; a description has not been made available. Detectives have asked that anyone with any information on the shooting come forward.
MTV News will have more on this breaking news throughout the day as the story continues to develop.
