Rapper Tre Koast (real name Luc Treadwell) was killed in a shooting while parked on his family’s street in North Phoenix, Ariz. on Jan. 17, 2020, Fox 10 reports. He was 21. The up-and-coming rap artist’s body was found inside his Dodge Charger, which had been “riddled with bullets.” Per police, prior to “someone [firing] between 20 and 30 rounds” inside the vehicle, “an SUV was seen chasing” the rapper’s car. A day after his death, Arizona’s ABC 15 reported that no suspects had yet been identified.
The young rapper had released three lead singles in 2019 (per Apple Music): “This Year,” “Safe Around,” and “Got It in Send It Out.” Most recently, he was featured on SoundCloud rapper Ki’s “Gifted” that September. When asked for a comment on Tre Koast’s untimely passing, the rapper’s father told Fox 10, “I’m not even ready for a memorial. I’m not ready to make any kind of statement. I’m sorry.” Meanwhile, Kennedy Bennett, Tre Koast’s girlfriend of nearly two years, told ABC 15, “Lucious was the love of my life, he was my best friend, my go-to.” She added, “Music was his motivation, being in the studio was like his safe haven almost.”
