Young Noble -- a rapper who worked closely with Tupac Shakur -- has died by suicide ... TMZ has learned.
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ Hip Hop ... Noble -- born Rufus Lee Cooper III -- died in Atlanta Friday morning.
Our sources say he died from a gunshot wound that appears self-inflicted at this time. We've reached out to local authorities for more information.
Noble got his big break in hip hop after joining the Outlawz rap group in early 1996 ... becoming the last member of the group personally added by 2Pac.
Noble appeared on four songs on Pac's album "The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory" ... including "Hail Mary." The album debuted in November 1996 -- just a couple months after Tupac was tragically killed in Las Vegas.
Young Noble released several solo studio albums, including "Noble Justice" and "Son of God."
Noble suffered a severe heart attack back in 2021 ... revealing he was grateful for a second chance in an Instagram post he made in May of that year. We're told Noble was playing basketball with friends recently and didn't show any signs of illness

ESPN - Famed Mexican boxer Julio César Chávez Jr. was arrested for overstaying his visa and lying on a green card application & will be deported to Mexico, where he faces organized crime charges.
The arrest comes days after the former middleweight champion lost a fight Saturday against influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul in Anaheim, California. The Department of Homeland Security said officials determined that Chávez should be arrested June 27, a day before the fight. It was unclear why they waited to act for days after the high-profile event.
Many people across Southern California are on edge as immigration arrests have ramped up, prompting protests & the federal deployment of National Guard troops and U.S. Marines to downtown Los Angeles.
Chavez Jr, 39, is the son of Julio César Chávez, one of the most beloved athletes in Mexican history, The son has battled drug addiction for much of his career, has been arrested repeatedly. In 2012, he was convicted of drunken driving in Los Angeles & sentenced to 13 days in jail & in January 2024, he was arrested on gun charges. Police said he possessed two AR-style ghost rifles. He was freed on a $50,000 bond & on condition he went to a residential drug treatment facility. The case is still pending, with Chávez reporting his progress regularly.
He split his time between both countries. Immigration & Customs Enforcement officers detained Chávez for overstaying a tourist visa that he entered the U.S. with in August 2023 and expired in February 2024, Homeland Security said.
The agency also said Chávez submitted multiple fraudulent statements when he applied for permanent residency on April 2, 2024, based on his marriage to a U.S. citizen, Frida Muñoz. She is the mother of a granddaughter of imprisoned Sinaloa cartel kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.
U.S. officials said he is believed to be an affiliate of the powerful Sinaloa Cartel that is blamed for a significant portion of Mexico's drug violence.

NEW YORK, July 2 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge denied Sean "Diddy" Combs' request to be released from jail on Wednesday ahead of his sentencing, after the music mogul was cleared of sex trafficking and racketeering charges that could have put him behind bars for life but found guilty of lesser prostitution-related offenses.
At a hearing in Manhattan federal court hours after the verdict was read, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian said Combs must remain in federal lockup in Brooklyn for now given the ample evidence presented at trial of violent acts Combs had committed.
The verdict was overall a win for Combs, a former billionaire known for elevating hip-hop in American culture.
The 12-member jury unanimously convicted him on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. It acquitted Combs of racketeering conspiracy and two counts of sex trafficking two of his former romantic partners: the rhythm and blues singer Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, and a woman known in court by the pseudonym Jane.
Prosecutors acknowledged in a court filing that federal sentencing guidelines appeared to recommend a maximum sentence of 5-1/4 years. Combs' lawyers argued that two years would be the outer limit.
After the verdict, Combs knelt before his chair and appeared to pray. Combs then rose and faced the courtroom gallery.
“I’m gonna be home soon,” he said, smiling and clasping his hands. “I love you. Thank you, I love you.”
Combs’ family and supporters erupted into applause and cheers.
Combs, 55, who had pleaded not guilty to all five counts, faces a maximum 10-year prison sentence on each of the two prostitution counts.
