Wiz Khalifa’s uncle was shot in the head at a Pittsburgh-area shopping center Wednesday (Jan. 8) and died at a local hospital, reports HipHopDX.com.
Authorities confirmed that Imani Porter, 20, was gunned down while sitting inside a car in the parking lot of the Steak ‘n Shake restaurant in Munhall, Penn., at around 8:10 p.m. local time. He was rushed to UPMC Mercy hospital where he died.
The incident is believed to have been a robbery attempt.
“Through the course of the investigation we determined that the victim was seated in the front seat of a Chevrolet Impala when he was shot,” Allegheny County police said in a statement. “Two Black males were seen fleeing the Impala and leaving the area in what was described as a white Pontiac, possibly a Bonneville. Suspected narcotics were found in and around the Impala possibly indicating that robbery was the motive for the shooting.”
Khalifa praised his young uncle for being “more level headed than all of us” via Twitter adding, “I would have never seen this happening in a million years.”
