A California man and a woman have been arrested and charged in connection with the fatal shooting of rapper Vincent Cohran, known by the stage name Slim 400.
The shooting occurred about 7:50 p.m. Dec. 8 when the victim was exiting his vehicle in the 8600 block of South 7th Avenue, according to the Inglewood Police Department.
Officers were in the area on patrol when they heard gunfire. They responded and found Cohran on the ground suffering from a gunshot wound, police said at the time.
He was transported to a local hospital, but was pronounced dead.
33-year-old Michael Lanell Terry and 42-year-old Tamra Lynn Bell were arrested June 9 in connection with the shooting.
On Monday, Terry was charged with murder and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, police said.
Bell was charged with accessory after the fact.
Authorities did not elaborate on how the suspects were identified and have released no motive for the shooting.
Slim 400 who was in his early 30s, was raised in Compton and known for songs including “Goapele” and “Piru.”
In 2019, he was shot multiple times in Compton, though he survived the attack after undergoing surgery, the Los Angeles Times reported.
