    Ralan Styles has been shot dead

    The 22-year-old rapper - who went viral in 2022 for his rap remix of Baby Shark' - was reportedly killed at a property in Columbus, Ohio, in the early hours of Saturday (19.10.24) morning in an alleged street robbery


    According to DailyMail.com, the musician was targeted for his neck chain and then shot multiple times during a confrontation.

    Police were called shortly before 5am and found the 'Bon Appetit' rapper - whose real name was Michael Robinson - bleeding from his wounds.

    They performed CPR while waiting for an ambulance but resuscitation attempts failed and he was pronounced dead at 5.10am.

    Mahamood Hassan, 24, has been charged with murder after witnesses supplied a detailed description of the suspect and then picked him out of a line-up.

    He is currently being held at Franklin Country Jail and will appear in court on Monday (21.10.24).

    Ralan's brother, who is also a rapper named Lil Goat, paid tribute to his sibling on Instagram.

    He wrote: "Not my lil brother man. I'm still waiting for you to call me and tell me this whole thing is a joke/ My heart is broken, i'll never be the same.

    "We went from rapping at the lunch table together in middle school, to becoming superstars [broken heart emoji]We slept on the floor together, we ate together, we fought together, signed our first deal together.

    "I love you bro, and as long as i'm alive you'll never die. Watch over me. Rest in peace to my lil brother @ralanstyles [broken heart emoji] Save me a spot up there my heart.(sic)"

    Friend Jared Krumm has also paid tribute to his pal.

    He posted on Instagram: "We lost you way too soon.

    "There was never a dull moment with you whether we were in the studio, chilling in Jake's basement, or even riding in the car to McDonalds."
