Atlanta Rapper Shawty Lo Killed In Fiery Car Crash

Two other women were injured in the crash.

Fulton County Police spokesperson Maureen Smith told BuzzFeed News that officers responded to reports of a single-vehicle accident Tuesday at approximately 2:20 a.m.

Upon arrival, authorities found that a car had struck a couple trees and caught fire. Shawty Lo, who was born Carlos Walker, appeared to have lost control of the wheel and was ejected from the vehicle. He pronounced dead at the scene.

There were two female passengers in the car who managed to escape. They were transported to the hospital and treated with non-life threatening injuries, Smith added. The department has not confirmed their identities.

Shawty Lo was known as a member of the Atlanta rap group D4L, who created the song “Laffy Taffy” in 2005.

As a solo artist, Shawty Lo was behind the hit song “Dey Know.”

The television network Oxygen once had plans to air a show about the rapper’s family — he had 11 children with 10 women — but a series of protests, including a petition that circulated on Change.org, led to it being scrapped.
