An Oakland rapper was arrested in the fatal shooting of a fellow rapper, police said Tuesday.
Oakland police arrested Dominic Gates, a rapper known as BNC 4nero, on charges of murder in the shooting of Alliauna Green, an up-and-coming rapper known as Tan DaGod, earlier this month. He was also arrested on charges of pimping a minor, corporal injury to a relationship partner, assault with a firearm, and possession of a firearm by a felon, arrest records show.
The shooting occurred on July 13 on the 4000 block of Telegraph Avenue, near the MacArthur BART Station. Green was found with gunshot wounds and taken to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Another shooting victim arrived at a hospital in stable condition, according to Oakland police.
The Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau has not yet publicly identified the homicide victim but numerous musicians mourned the loss of Tan DaGod on social media shortly after the shooting. Her friends identified her as the victim and believed she was targeted, KTVU reported.
The slain rapper had promoted a meet-and-greet that afternoon at Glamour Beauty, which is on the same block as the shooting.
“The violence is beyond understanding,” rapper Mistah F.A.B. wrote in an Instagram post last week. He added he was booked to be there but “God had other plans.”
The Alameda County District Attorney’s Office filed charges against Gates, according to Oakland police. A plea hearing is scheduled for Friday.
