Michigan authorities on Tuesday revealed the cause of death of 3 Detroit rappers who went missing after a canceled performance and were later found dead in a nearby city.
"Members of the homicide task force are continuing to make progress on the investigation of the homicide of three men in Highland Park. It has been determined that the cause of death for each of the men was multiple gunshot wounds," read an update from Michigan State Police via Twitter.
"The investigation also has revealed that this was not a random incident. The investigation is continuing & detectives are making progress & we believe we may have determined a motive."
Last month, the rappers — Armani Kelly, Montoya Givens and Dante Wicker — were supposed to perform at Lounge 31 in Detroit, but the show was canceled due to equipment problems.
Kelly was last seen leaving Oscoda around 11 a.m. on Jan. 21 to head to the lounge. After he disappeared, his mother, Lorrie Kemp, tracked his vehicle through Onstar & found it at 3 locations in Warren.
On Jan. 28, a 15-year-old was arrested after driving a vehicle associated with one of the missing men.
Police say all 3 of the men's cellphones were turned off around the same time the night they went missing.
On Feb. 2, MSP said via Twitter that "multiple victims" were found in an abandoned apartment complex in Highland Park, a city about 10 minutes from Detroit.
The next day, those bodies were identified as the missing rappers.
