Rapper Timothy Starks has been shot in broad daylight on Wednesday, March 16. The incident took place just minutes after the Miami rapper walked out of jail and got inside his friend's car. The rapper was dead minutes later after being attacked by a gunman who shot him while in traffic, according to reports.
The rapper, who was popularly known as 'Baby Cino' was released from jail after posting bond on a gun charge and had only boarded his friend's vehicle when the two were ambushed by another vehicle in what has been described as "a wild daylight shooting in the middle of traffic," according to Miami Herald.
Reports suggest that Starks didn't even get the chance to take off the wrist band given to inmates at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
On Thursday, police identified Starks and his friend, Dante' Collins Banks, 20, who went to pick him up from jail. Banks was also wounded in the shooting incident. Detectives are yet to identify any suspect in the attack. However, they have informed that "a dark-colored vehicle was seen fleeing the area at a high rate of speed," according to reports. It has also been said that the shooter had fired at least 40 times.
