Investigators are trying to figure out why someone would shoot local rapper, Christopher Barriere. He was shot in the back of the head at a southwest Houston gas station overnight.

Barriere, known as Mr. 3-2, was a member of Houston’s Screwed Up Click. He was involved with three groups while signed to Rap-A-Lot Records: The Convicts, Southside Playaz and Blac Monks; he released one solo album. He has collaborated on tracks with big stars like Snoop Dogg, UGK, Scarface, 8 Ball & MJG, South Park Mexican and Too $hort.

Houston police say there were four men at the gas station Thursday night, and that the men all know each other. Cops say two of the men went inside the store and one of the men outside pulled out a pistol and shot Barriere in the back of the head. The suspect drove away then came back and shot another victim in the face with a shotgun, also hitting other people who were simply there at the wrong time, according to investigators.

“Unfortunately the shotgun blast, not all the pellets hit its intended target and continued past and struck multiple other targets including another witness who was shot in the leg,” HPD Sgt. Michael Arrington said.

The suspect drove away in a white or gray four-door car. Police are looking at surveillance video and hope that will help them find the suspect.
