Quality Control rapper Marlo has died following a shooting in his native Atlanta. Local police confirmed the 30-year-old's death to local media outlets on Sunday, July 12.

He was declared dead at the scene. "At this time, investigators believe the victim was the intended target of the gunfire and they are working to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting," the Atlanta Police Department told Billboard.
