Three men have been found shot to death in a northeast Harris County neigborhood subdivision. The three bodies were found around a pickup truck parked in an alley. One man was identified as an aspiring local rapper in his late 20s to early 30s who went by the nickname "50." Sheriff's detectives say they don't yet have a suspect or motive.

Anyone want to start a pool on the motive.

It could be maybe he stole someone's lyrics and was shot in revenge.

EDIT: or he could be completely innocent and in the wrong place at the wrong time, or perhaps someone only thought he did something that needed to be avenged. Innocent people get shot too.

The idea of trying to guess the motive on the limited facts is probably not wise. Let's leave that to the paid people.

We don't carry because we are drug dealers or low lifes, we carry because ANYONE can become the target of a criminal.

What he said

Residents told authorities they heard what sounded like gunfire Thursday morning but weren't initially alarmed.

Even criminals need protection, which is why we make gun-free zones.

This is an internet forum. We never have ALL the facts. Conjecture and discussion is the point.

Some of you may consider lightening up a bit. A rapper, killed or shot in the middle of the night, and making an assumption based on a profile isn't ok for a forum like this?

We're not the police.

Not 50 Cent. Does that make him 50, no cents?

Yeah, they should be the ones making an assumption based on a profile
