Leonard “L’A Capone” Anderson, an up-and-coming rapper and friend of Def Jam Recording’s Lil Durk, was shot and killed Thursday evening leaving a South Shore recording studio, his mother said.
The 17-year-old rapper was walking through an alley near 70th Street and Stony Island Avenue around 6:25 p.m. when shots rang out and he was hit in his right thigh and lower back, said Amina Greer, a Chicago Police Department spokeswoman.
After the shooting, fellow rapper Lil Durk tweeted, “Get well lil bro,” but then followed it up with a later tweet of “rip lil bro” after Anderson died about 8:30 p.m. at Northwestern Hospital.
