The rapper Slim 400 has been shot and killed in Los Angeles, according to TMZ.
The 33-year-old performer, whose real name is Vincent Cohran, was gunned down at around 7.50pm on Wednesday in Inglewood near the intersection of Manchester Boulevard and 7th Avenue.
No arrests have been made and the motive and circumstances of the shooting were not immediately clear.
The shooting came just hours after Slim 400 released a new music video for the song Caviar Gold, and follows a brush with death in 2019 when the rapper was shot eight times.
Vincent Cohran, aka Slim 400, was gunned down at around 7.50pm on Wednesday in Inglewood near the intersection of Manchester Boulevard and 7th Avenue.
Police respond to the scene in Inglewood where Cohran was found shot by officers responding to the sound of gunshots on Wednesday night.
Police said that officers on patrol heard gunshots Wednesday night and responded to find a man on the ground with gunshot wounds, according to KCBS- TV.
The victim, later identified as Cohran, was transported to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, where he died.
Born in Frankfort, Germany to a military family, Cohran moved back to Los Angeles at a young age and grew up in Compton.
He was signed by the now-defunct label Pu$haz Ink and is best known for his 2015 album Foe Block.
On Wednesday, hours before his death, Slim 400 released the video for his new song Caviar Gold, which appears to reference a brand of high-THC cannabis products.
Slim 400 is also known for his association with the rapper YG, collaborating with him and Sad Boy Loko on the 2016 single Bruisin.

Slim 400 also feuded with Tekashi 69 and got into a shouting match with him outside the Hyatt Regency in Long Beach in November 2018, according to TMZ.
The two could be heard yelling at each other in a video, and at one point Tekashi’s security detail had to hold him back and rush him off before things could spiral out of control.
Tekashi 69, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, has been a pariah in the hip-hop industry ever since turning state’s witness against his fellow Nine Trey Gangsters in 2019 in a deal to avoid lengthy prison time.
In June 2019, Slim 400 was shot eight times in Compton and barely escaped death after emergency surgery.
That attack on Slim occurred on the three-month anniversary of the murder of Nipsey Hussle in Los Angeles.
YG, who has also had a rivalry with Tekashi 69, apparently remained with Slim 400 at the hospital through the night following the 2019 shooting.
Slim 400’s death comes weeks after the murder of Memphis rapper Young Dolph, who was shot and killed on November 17.
