Rapper Proof Slain in Detroit Nightclub

And this is why you don't go to the DET.
DETROIT - Proof, a member of rap group D12 and a close friend of Eminem, was shot to death early Tuesday at a nightclub along Eight Mile Road, a publicist said.
ADVERTISEMENT The death of Proof ? whose real name is Deshaun Holton ? was confirmed by Dennis Dennehy, the publicist for D12's label, Interscope Records.
"Memorial service arrangements are still being made, and his friends and family would appreciate privacy during this difficult time," Dennehy said in a statement.
Family members gathered at a home on Detroit's northwest side. The residential street in front of the two-story home was lined with vehicles.
Proof was the best man at Eminem's wedding in January and often appeared alongside the superstar rapper at concerts and public appearances. He also appeared in the film "8 Mile."
D12, which includes Eminem, has been around since the mid-1990s, when members of the rap group met at Detroit's Hip-Hop Shop, a clothing store by day and a hip-hop club by night.
Detroit police wouldn't confirm that Proof was killed, but said two people were shot in the head ? one fatally ? early Tuesday at a nightclub on Eight Mile.
An argument at the CCC nightclub escalated into gunshots, Detroit police spokesman James Tate said.
Wende Berry, a spokeswoman for St. John Health System, said Holton was dead on arrival at St. John Conner Creek, an outpatient treatment facility. Berry confirmed that he had a gunshot wound.
Another member of Eminem's inner circle ? rapper Obie Trice ? was shot while driving on a Detroit-area highway in December.

I'm not from canada.
and "real g's" typically are a bunch of mental midgets who dont know how to live without being shot or sent to a prison where they get anal raped. "real g's" are losers.
and, no, detroit is a shitty town. boring as fuck and lots of white trash and "real g's"
oh, believe me. I can handle the heat, son. I just think your city sucks.

I like some Rap, bit i like older rap better, but I am not for the lifestyle, even known at one time I was affilate to certain gang members. But I haven't assoicated with them for over 3 years. But that is how it goes dealing with gangsters and rap, it is part of the territory.

http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Music/04/12/rapper.killed.ap/index.html
DETROIT, Michigan (AP) -- Rapper Proof fired the first bullet in a Detroit nightclub shootout that ended his life, police said Wednesday.
The bullet hit Keith Bender, 35, in the head, critically injuring him early Tuesday at the C.C.C., a bar in a strip of businesses along Eight Mile, the road made famous in Eminem's movie of the same name.
Proof, whose real name is Deshaun Holton, was taken to a nearby outpatient treatment center by a private car, where he was pronounced dead.
Detectives are currently trying to figure out who shot Proof, said Detroit police spokesman Sgt. Omar Feliciano. He said his office was told by homicide detectives that Proof fired the first shot at Bender.
Feliciano said no further information has been released.
Proof, 32, was a member of the rap group D12 and was the best man in Eminem's January wedding. Eminem was seldom seen in public without Proof.
Police said officers responding to 911 calls about 4:30 a.m. Tuesday found the bar empty when they arrived.
Bender also was taken to a hospital by a private car.
Police Chief Ella Bully-Cummings said Tuesday that detectives don't know what Proof was doing at the bar, which was operating outside of its licensed hours.
Investigators face a unique challenge because no victims were present at the crime scene, Bully-Cummings said.
Police have said that an argument between two parties at the club escalated into gunfire.
