Pittsburgh rapper Jimmy Wopo has reportedly died after a double shooting in the Middle Hill neighbourhood. Police told Pittsburgh station Action News 4 that two victims were taken to hospital, one of whom died at the hospital. The second victim arrived at the hospital in stable condition. Wopo’s manager later confirmed that Wopo had died on Facebook.
