The rapper was talking with a friend on the social media platform when he was ambushed

A rapper in the Los Angeles area was talking with a friend on Instagram Live when he was ambushed in front of viewers, his murder broadcast over the social media network.

Zerail Dijon Rivera, who performed under the name Indian Red Boy, was killed Thursday in Hawthorne. In a press release, the Hawthorne Police Department said they responded to a shooting call at a multi-level gated apartment complex on South Chadron Avenue to find “a 21-year-old male slumped in the front seat of a vehicle parked in the carport to the rear of the building.”

“He appeared to be suffering from multiple gunshot wounds,” officials added.

“Los Angeles County Fire Rescue responded to the location where the male was pronounced deceased.”

Detectives are investigating Rivera’s death and are asking for assistance from the community to identify a suspect. In their press release, Hawthorne law enforcement shared a link to the young man’s murder. TheGrio is not sharing the footage due to its graphic nature.
In the captured video, at least 12 shots were fired.

Rivera’s friend, social media influencer Kapone, who was on the Instagram Live with him, can be heard asking, “What the f**k? Bro, what the f**k? Where you at?”


The targetted man — who has more than 35,000 followers on Instagram — is then seen mouthing “Help” repeatedly to the camera before whispering, “I’m in Hawthorne.” He dropped his camera seconds later, and the live stream ended.

“It appears to have been a walk-up shooting, and he appears to have been targeted,” Lt. Ti Goetz told The Daily Breeze.

The rapper’s death appears to be gang-related. Indian Red Boy claimed affiliation with the Bloods. Several videos on YouTube appear to show him disrespecting late rapper Nipsey Hussle, including one of him allegedly vandalizing a mural of the venerated MC. Hussle was known to be Crip-affiliated.

Spoiler: I think these are the videos

I’m going to archive but I’m ok if you do it before I do because I don’t know how long they’d be up. Edit Damn it they’re already down..

Did you not watch the video? Something even worse happened than being publically tarred and feathered. He was publically executed. I don’t know about you but I would consider that worse.

Tarrred and feathered is waaaay the fuck worse, that tar is boiling hot, you get scalded/suffocate to death by it if they don't hang you after the feathers part. When they tarred and feathered, that tar wasn't room temperature.

Yeah, so heavily invented they constantly get shot and killed by rivals. The only living rappers are the ones that stay the fuck away from the shit happening on the streets.

That said, this man was clearly appropriating and insulting Native American culture with a name like that, so I will not mourn him dying to colonialist bullets like so many of the brave Natives he mocked with his stage name.

Big chief kill nigger got his pound of wampum today kemosabe

silly nigger

Kinda hard to hear what he's gurgling.

"Help, help. I'm in Hawthorne" is all I can make out. He says something else too right before he collapses and smacks the camera.

All I can say is that when it's my time to die I hope I die quickly rather than slowly choking on my own blood like this guy.

Another spot in the dead nigger storage room filled. Lol.

Yep, that is me. You are probably wondering how I got myself in this situation...

Here is the video. Seems like a neck shot.

Maybe because Im just so jaded and hollow inside (and because I dont think these pricks deserve the air they breath) but when the guy got shot and the one was like "yo, what the fuck?!" I kind of started to laugh slightly.

Me from 10 years ago would be horrified at myself, but then again, that version still hasnt seen the degeneracy of society reach a point where it all feels comical

You look me in the eye and you tell me that was over his retarded-ass name and not him doing some stupid hood bullshit regarding some other stupid rapper.

Reaction of the guy on the other end was pretty fucking retarded though. The dude was obviously shot at and mouthed help and the other dude was like 'duuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh'.

Sort of makes me wonder if he was in on the whole thing. I mean, dude was just sitting in his car at who knows where, but this dude likely knew where he was and distracted him while the rivals rolled up. Theory anyway.
