2 Well-Known Detroit Rappers Gunned Down On I-94

DETROIT, MI — Two well-known Detroit rappers were fatally shot in a spray of gunfire on Interstate 94 early Sunday morning, Michigan State Police said. About 30 shots were fired into the car occupied by Dominique Brown and Ramell Campbell about 2:45 a.m. near Livernois, police said. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.

The investigation is continuing, police said. Investigators believe the shots were fired over a stretch of eastbound I-94 to the spot near Livernois where the vehicle came to a rest. The freeway was closed for a time as state police, detectives from the 2nd District Special Investigations, a crash-scene reconstructionist, a police dog and the MSP Crime Lab processed the scene.

Hot 107.5 radio personality Kenny Valentino, who had Brown and Campbell in his studio Friday, told WDIV-TV that the two were said to have left a Dearborn club together before they were shot. Friends said they were targeted,

Brown has two children, and a GoFundMe campaign has been set up by family member Kai Hodge.

“She was a great mother and would go above and beyond to take care of her children, so we would like to keep it going,” Raising money to help with the needs near and far of the 2 kids left behind after their mom’s (Domonique Brown) tragic and senseless death. Anything would help.”

Brown’s mother, Bertha Matthews, told WXYZ-TV that she will keep whoever shot her daughter in her prayers.

“You have taken my only daughter away from me and there’s nothing in this world that could bring my daughter back,” Matthews said. “I’m going to keep you in my prayers along with your family because everybody has their day and they will soon get theirs.”
