Lil Phat Shot Dead in Atlanta
Lil Phat, the 19-year-old rapper from Louisiana and member of the Trill Entertainment crew, was shot and killed yesterday outside a hospital in Atlanta, police have confirmed.
Phat was found with multiple gunshot wounds in a vehicle parked on the second floor of the parking center at Northside Hospital in Sandy Springs. He was rushed to the hospital's emergency room, but pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
Police are looking for two suspects, black males, who were seen fleeing the scene of the crime. A motive for the shooting was not known.
