Bronx Rapper Murdered While Livestreaming Rivalry Assault And Robbery

A Bronx rapper was fatally shot Monday afternoon (July 14) during a violent confrontation that unfolded in broad daylight—and in front of a livestreaming cellphone.

The incident occurred around 12:59 p.m. in the Soundview section of the Bronx, near the intersection of Commonwealth and Westchester Avenues, and has since sparked widespread attention both on social media and in the local community.

In footage captured of the incident, two men were seen attacking a third man. One assailant, dressed in a black shirt and orange shorts, physically assaulted the individual while the second, wearing a white shirt and red pants, filmed the attack and broadcast it live.

However, the situation took a dramatic turn when the man being beaten—wearing a black shirt and sweatpants—pulled out a concealed firearm and fired over his shoulder, striking his attacker.

The man filming fled, but not before the gunman fired another shot in his direction. The shooter was then seen stepping over the wounded man before fleeing the scene. The injured man, later identified as 27-year-old Bronx rapper KashOut4E, was rushed to Jacobi Medical Center in critical condition and died shortly after.

“At first I thought they were robbing him,” a witness told the New York Daily News. “One of the guys were saying ‘give me my money, give me my money’ like he owed them. They were kicking him and he was saying ‘I don’t have no money.’”

The witness added, “He pulled a gun out of nowhere and pow pow pow — the guy in the orange went down.”

KashOut4E had built a modest online presence with tracks like “Ransom” and “Don’t Stop/Get Back,” collaborating with artists including Gotti4E, XayBanks, Stu Gotti, and Gfive Baby.

“NAH GANG WE WS JUST TALKING ON THE PHONE WTF,” one friend posted in a heartfelt social media tribute, later sharing a hospital photo with the rapper’s mother. Meanwhile, some alleged rivals mocked KashOut4E’s death online, praising the shooter’s aim.

No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing.
