A send-off for a slain Maryland rapper is going viral because of the way the man’s body was apparently displayed.
Markelle Morrow, who rapped under the name “Goonew,” died last month after he was found shot in a District Heights parking lot. On Sunday, the rapper’s friends and family gathered at Bliss, a Washington, D.C., nightclub to honor his memory at $40 a pop, according to Hot97.com.
The reaction was strong enough that the nightclub posted an apology on social media on Monday, saying it was contacted by a local funeral home for a celebration of the rapper’s life, but had no idea of “what would transpire.”
