*A Baltimore rapper was fatally shot in broad daylight at a busy intersection on Friday while leaving a charity basketball game that promoted “peace in the streets.”

The shooter appeared to be targeting Watson, according to Baltimore police spokesman T.J. Smith. But no motive has been identified, and police have not named any suspects.

On social media, rappers and local celebrities mourned Lor Scoota, including The Game, who posted a photo of himself with the rapper on Instagram.

“Another young one murdered,” he wrote. “Then this news hits me SMH. LIFE……… hold onto it, or you’ll lose it & everything in it in the blink of an eye.”

Former Baltimore Raven Torrey Smith, who now plays for the San Francisco 49ers, lamented the fact that Watson was actively trying to prevent violence when he was shot and killed.

“One that was focused in stopping the violence smh crazy world man…prayers up,” he said on Twitter.
