<p class="mol-para-with-font">An aspiring rapper was killed and four others injured &#8211; including one woman who was shot twice in the groin &#8211; while filming a music video about guns in a Chicago park at around 2am Tuesday.<br />
The video, for a song called &#8216;Two Techs and a 50 Shot&#8217; &#8211; a reference to guns &#8211; was to feature a &#8216;party scene&#8217; filmed in Foster Park, but the day&#8217;s filming ended badly when an unknown suspect or suspects opened fire, killing Damond Dawson.<br />
Local rapper Foreign Lyfe said the gunman approached from behind the camera.<br />
&#8216;We turned around and look back again, quick as we looked back, started shooting,&#8217; the rapper told ABC 7. &#8216;Shots coming from everywhere.&#8217;</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Foreign Lyfe told NBC 5 he didn&#8217;t get a good look at the shooters. &#8216;The camera was on me and the shooting started from behind,&#8217; he said. &#8216;So at that point everybody ran, scattered, going their separate ways.&#8217;<br />
Damond Dawson, a 23-year-old aspiring rapper known as &#8216;Thugga,&#8217; was shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene. Foreign Lyfe told NBC that Dawson was &#8216;like a brother&#8217; to him.<br />
Four others were injured in the shooting. A 19-year-old woman was taken to hospital in an ambulance with two gunshot wounds to the groin; three other men took themselves to hospital. Of them, a 20-year-old had been shot nine times in the leg and shoulder, a 25-year-old had a graze wound to the leg and an 18-year-old had a graze wound to the back. Dawson&#8217;s aunt, Angela Tate, 44, told ABC, &#8216;I always told my kids and my sons and everybody. Stay out of Foster Park because they&#8217;re shooting people. You don&#8217;t need to be up there.&#8217;<br />
Exactly how many shooters were on the scene is not currently certain, but Tate told The Chicago Tribune there were two shooters and that it was &#8216;Basically like an ambush,&#8217; with &#8216;One coming west of the park and one coming south.&#8217;<br />
Tate said that Dawson was a high-school dropout but not involved in gangs, and described him as &#8216;a good guy who would do anything for you,&#8217;according to DNAinfo.<br />
Michael Simmons, a crisis responder from Chicago Survivors told NBC that this kind of call has become routine.<br />
&#8216;Unfortunately I was not surprised&#8217;, he said. &#8216;The beat goes on and unfortunately it’s the same old sad song. We really didn’t get a decline this winter.<br />
&#8216;In fact, the homicides spiked, so when I got the call tonight it was, unfortunately it was business as usual.&#8217;<br />
The video and camera from the music video were turned over to police, who have yet to identify the suspect.</p>
