Born Melanie Doyle, the 24-year-old drill rapper had seen her star wattage rise in recent years with several tracks that went viral. In 2023, she was charged with felony counts of aggravated battery in connection with an attack on a fellow rapper.

The deadly drive-by shooting occurred about 11 p.m. Wednesday outside Artis Lounge nightclub, in the 300 block of West Chicago Avenue as a crowd gathered after the album release party for Rapper Mello Buckzz.
