A member of rap group D12 was killed in a nightclub shooting in Detroit this morning (April 11) . 32-year-old Proof (real name Deshaun Holton), was shot in the head at a club on Eight Mile Road, made famous in Eminem's autobiographical film 8 Mile. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Conner Creek Medical Center in Detroit, according to a spokeswoman for St. John Health System.
The slain rapper was a close friend of Eminem and had acted as his best man at his wedding in January. Proof's solo debut, "Searching for Jerry Garcia," was released in August 2005 on his own Iron Fist label.
A publicist for D12's record label Interscope said arrangements were being made for a memorial service.
Another friend of Eminem, rapper Obie Trice, was shot at while driving in Detroit on New Year's Eve. He was wounded in the attack (but has since recovered from his wounds), while his girlfriend was unhurt.
In addition, D12 original member Bugz was shot and killed in May 1999 during a picnic at Detroit's Belle Isle Park.
