Rap newcomer BLU CRUSH has been gunned down in a Houston, Texas motel.
The MC, real name Mark Stenberg, was shot several times in the chest at the St. Francis Motel last week (ends15Feb08). He was 29.
Stenberg - a native of Portland, Oregon - had been on tour to promote his latest release, Jail House Dreams, when he was murdered.
Police have yet to make any arrests in the case, although Stenberg's wife, Aurelia, admitted he had struggled to leave his life as a former gang member behind him.
She says, "He was a good person. He really wanted to do something for everyone."
Stenberg is survived by his wife and five children.
