(Newser) – The badly burned body of up-and-coming Brooklyn rapper Kampane has been found in an SUV abandoned on a New Jersey street. Police say the 33-year-old rapper, whose real name was Rhian Stoute, had been shot at least once. "Everybody loved him," Kampane's cousin tells the New York Daily News. "We're shocked. It's very confusing. This is out of nowhere."

Kampane performs at the Paradise Theater in the Bronx.

Everybody loved him says his cousin. So that means somebody who loved him is the killer. The cops are going to have a hard time finding the killer seeing as everybody loved him. The cops can exclude me because I never heard of him and obviously don't love him.
