This one might be the hardest loss for JUKEBOXDC to date… and all over a stupid, senseless act. RIP to a true great — a great artist and a great friend.
From NBC4:
A D.C. rapper was killed during the robbery of a dispensary where he worked despite cooperating with the robbers.
Philip Prendergast, known as Phil Da Phuture, was shot during a robbery inside Hotbox on Georgia Avenue NW near Hamilton Street just before 3 p.m. Wednesday, police said.
The 41-year-old was working when two armed men robbed the dispensary, police said. One of the men shot Prendergast before leaving.
Prendergast died at a hospital.
Anyone who knows anything that can help with the investigation should call police. There is a $25,000 reward.
