Mac Dre Killed in Kansas City

Mac Dre

Rapper Mac Dre, whose real name is Andre Hicks, was gunned down on early Monday (November 1) in Kansas City, Missouri, while riding in a van on the highway.

An unknown suspect fired through the vehicle on U.S. 71, a four-lane highway running through the middle of town. Though the driver crawled to safety, Mac Dre was thrown from the van and pronounced dead at the scene. Kansas City police reported late Tuesday that Dre died from a bullet wound. He was 34.

Mac Dre was in Kansas City for a performance that was scheduled on Friday, but stayed in the city for the weekend.

Mac Dre's death marks the second rapper to be fatally killed in Kansas City this year. Ramone C. Davis, 31, of San Diego, died March 22 when a man tried to rob him of 10 pounds of marijuana. A 27-year-old Kansas City man was charged in the case.

    Just so everybody know. Mac Dre was killed in Kansas City, Missouri. Not in Kansas City, Kansas. There iz a big azz difference. Mac Dre was in 816, Thatz KCMO. KCK iz 913. So don't get it twisted cause KCK ain't even like that. On the otha hand, KCMO iz. Much luv to Dre and the Thizzle Dance! From Cali to 913, THatz KCK.
