Rapper Nick Blixky has been pronounced dead after police found him in the street with fatal gunshot wounds. The promising 21-year-old musician was due to release his first mixtape Different Timin to fans on June 3 when he was found with severe wounds to his torso at around 9.30pm on Sunday night.
Nick - real name Nickalus Thompson - was discovered on Winthrop Street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens in Brooklyn, New York, police reported.
He was rushed to NYC Health & Hospitals/Kings County, where he sadly died. Footage filmed by a witness apparently in the aftermath of the shooting shows two cop cars stopped in the middle of an intersection with what seems to be a body in the middle of the road.
