According to Detroit police, it now appears that Proof's own actions led to his death.
The slain rapper first pistol-whipped and shot 35-year-old Detroit resident Keith Bender Jr. in the head following a fight at the CCC nightclub. The club was legal, but open illegally after hours onTuesday morning (April 11). Police then believe 28-year-old Mario Etheridge, an alleged Detroit bouncer and confirmed cousin of Bender Jr., shot Proof in return. Keith Bender Jr. remains in critical condition at St. John Hospital and Medical Center.
Etheridge, turned himself into police custody on Wednesday evening (April 12) and gave his account to authorities.
Detroit Police Sgt. Eren Stephens told the Detroit Free Press in the case that Proof was shot by someone trying to protect himself or another, the shooter won't be charged.

One is always sorry at the senseless loss of life, but it appears that Proof sowed the wind - and reaped the ultimate whirlwind. Course, that hasn't stopped the "what is wrong with Rap music?" comments on some websites....
