EBN- A 17-year-old teenage rapper from Virginia, USA, who was filming a music video for himself last week, holding a gun, and tragically and accidentally shot himself.
Rilo Honcho was seen in a video clip posted on his Instagram stories showing off a gun, waving it while displaying a green laser towards his head, then holding the handle, thinking he had turned off the safety system, then pointing the gun at his head and pulling the trigger.
The scene ends tragically and he falls to the ground and drops the phone. He was reportedly taken to a local hospital, where he was eventually pronounced dead.
Police in Suffolk, Virginia, did not mention Honcho’s name, but confirmed that a 17-year-old man died from a gunshot wound to the head.
Authorities said the teen had been killed by an ‘accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound’ to the head.
Footage shared on social media in the wake of Huncho’s death showed the rapper dancing around his room and singing into a camera while holding a pistol for a video on his Instagram Stories.
At some point during his routine, Huncho is believed to have turned off the gun’s safety switch. He died after a shot rang out from the gun.
