An aspiring rapper died Thursday after being shot on the East Side and dropped off at the Mount Carmel East emergency room.
Courtney Bruce, 26, also known as "Boog The Bandit," died at 6:11 p.m. Thursday.
Columbus police said Bruce, of the East Side, was in a car with a 25-year-old man on the 3700 block of Dort Place when the pair were approached by a group of men with handguns. Several shots were fired, striking Bruce.
The man who was with Bruce drove her to the hospital. He was not injured.
HipHop DX, an online blog, said Bruce had been gaining traction in 2021 with three singles, "Heart Away," "Hot Topic" and "Risky," garnering more than 100,000 views each on YouTube.
Boog, a Columbus native, also garnered recognition from hip-hop heavyweights such as culture critic DJ Akademiks, Canton-born rap star Trippie Redd and others for her superstar-like presence.
