Memphis, TN (WREG) – The tragic shooting death of an emerging Memphis rapper has been confirmed by his manager. The artist, known as Casino Jizzle and born Robert Tunstall, was fatally shot on July 4 in northeast Memphis on Goldbrier Lane, as reported by Angie Strange, his manager.
The Memphis Police have yet to officially identify the victim in this shooting incident. However, on Wednesday, they issued an arrest warrant for Michael Clayton, aged 27, charging him with First Degree Murder in connection with the Goldbrier homicide.
Casino Jizzle, an unsigned artist according to his Facebook page, had been preparing for the release of his new album titled “Duh” on Friday. This unfortunate event occurred just days before his much-anticipated debut.
