Ortega Henderson, 25, died after being shot, according to reports. Kyjuan Cleveland, a friend of Ortega Henderson’s, said that the rapper was shot May 16 in Wellston, Mo. Ortega Henderson, described as a promising rap artist who was trying to flee the streets to pursue his rapping dream, succumbed to his injuries at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis.
“He got mixed up in the streets, but he was so talented, we thought we could pull him out of it. He was on the right path for a minute, but times are hard and he started getting around the wrong people.”
Ortega Henderson, who was a member of rap group Da Camp, was in the midst of working on their new album when the shooting took place. Details of the confrontation have yet to be made clear.
Ortega Henderson was in a heap of trouble with the authorities before his demise for first-degree felony tampering with a motor vehicle, and unlawful use of a weapon charges.
A memorial was held last week. Funeral arrangements are set for Thursday in St Louis, the location not announced to press.
