Rapper Omer Niaz Muhammad, known to fans as Lil OT, was tragically killed in a shooting incident on Monday night. The 24-year-old artist sustained a fatal gunshot wound to the neck in the car park of the Burlington Centre mall in Ontario, Canada.
Authorities were alerted to the scene around 10:10 PM local time following reports of three loud bangs. Muhammad was rushed to a nearby hospital but unfortunately passed away before arrival. Police are currently seeking two male suspects who reportedly fled the scene in a white SUV. Investigators believe this shooting was a targeted act and do not currently assess any ongoing risk to public safety.
This fatal attack is particularly notable as Muhammad had survived a previous drive-by shooting at his family's home in Hamilton approximately two years ago. The gunman in that earlier incident, identified as his former friend Ahmed Issak-Hussan, is currently awaiting sentencing. Muhammad himself had also previously served a sentence of about 18 months for gun-related charges.
