  • Rising star Pop Smoke is gunned down in the Hollywood Hills in what is labeled a robbery gone wrong, but the scene lacks the usual signs of forced entry and ransacking associated with those crimes.

  • Chicago drill artist King Von is shot to death in a fight he started outside an Atlanta nightclub; the altercation is caught on surveillance cameras.

  • Exploring if the murder of beloved New Orleans Rapper, Magnolia Shorty, whose voice was sampled on Drake's 2018 smash hit "In My Feelings," was a crime of passion, or a gang-related hit.

  • Rapper and French Montana protégé, Chinx, becomes the victim of a drive-by shooting in Queens, N.Y., in 2015; his murder was possibly the end of a feud born in prison; once he was back on the streets, Chinx was actually being hunted by his killer.

  • Van delves into the mystery of the murder of New Orleans legend and "No Limit" rap star, Soulja Slim.

  • Young rap star XXXTentacion's life was cut tragically short when he was shot dead in the parking lot of a motorsports store near his home in Florida; this could have just been a robbery gone wrong, but XXXTentacion may have predicted his own murder.

  • Van Lathan investigates the brazen highway shooting of Dallas rapper Mo3; was up-and-coming Dallas rapper Mo3's murder a crime of passion?

  • FBG Duck has helped to define the signature sound of Chicago Drill Music, only to be gunned down in a mob-style hit; exploring if he was murdered because of his street ties, music or where he was from in Chicago.
