Inglewood rapper Half Ounce was shot and killed in Koreatown as he was walking home Monday night, his family confirms to FOX 11. The gunman remains on the loose.

It happened around 11:30 p.m. in the area of 8th and New Hampshire Police said they believe Half Ounce and a friend were walking in the area when a dark-colored SUV pulled up, and the passenger began firing at both men.

It’s unclear if Half Ounce’s friend fired back. He ran away from the scene and police are trying to identify him as they continue the search for the gunman. The rapper was found in a planter suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, according to the LAPD.

He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said at least a dozen shots were fired.

According to police, Half Ounce’s pregnant wife was on the phone with him when she heard gunshots and rushed to the scene.

He leaves behind three children – a 9-month-old son, a 2-year-old son, and an 8-year-old daughter. The suspect is described as a man around 32-years-old, who was wearing dark clothing and left the scene headed southbound in a black SUV. Anyone with information is asked to call police.
