When reached for comment, a rep with the Chicago Police Department said the suspect was driving a black four-door sedan. The unidentified individual exited the sedan and opened fire, ultimately killing the 31-year-old victim and leaving the 29-year-old woman with “gunshot wounds to the left arm and upper back.” The individual then returned to the sedan and left the scene. An investigation is ongoing.

In a recent interview on the Drea O Show, as seen below, Cash reflected on mortality and offered some candid remarks about what he had overcome in his life to get to where he was at 31.

“So much malicious shit going on in the world and I still overrode it,” he said at the time. “I weathered the storm with all that shit. I don’t think it’s in my cards. I really don’t. … I think I’m gonna die of old age.”

Another young life gone too soon. RIP.
