Former rapper killed as hail of bullets hit FEMA trailer
Terence Vine, a former New Orleans rapper known as "Sporty T," was shot and killed in his bed early Tuesday when his FEMA trailer was riddled by gunfire, police said.
Police spokesman Garry Flot said police received a "shots fired" call around 4:20 a.m. When officers arrived, they found the exterior of Vine's trailer riddled with at least 28 bullet holes. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Sheila Vine, the victim's sister, said Vine, 41, joined a rap trio known as the "Ninja Crew" when he was 14, recording three albums. He then signed as a solo artist with Big Boy Records and recorded more than a dozen albums with them. Eight years ago, he left the label and started his own Sporty Records, where he recorded later work.
Sheila Vine said her brother, a self-employed dry wall contractor, is the second member of the Ninja Crew to be murdered.
Authorities said they have no motive or suspects in Vine's shooting.
