On April 11 2006, Proof died after suffering a gunshot wound to the head at approximately 4:30am EDT (08:30 UTC) at the CCC Club on 8 Mile Road in Detroit, Michigan, after fatally shooting Keith Bender, Jr. Proof fired the first shots into Bender’s head after taking his pistol and striking Bender several times in the face. The eruption is believed to have been due to an argument over a game of pool. Proof was then shot by the bouncer Mario Etheridge, Bender’s cousin. He was then taken by private vehicle to St. John Health’s Conner Creek Campus, an outpatient emergency treatment site, and was pronounced dead on arrival shortly thereafter.[7] He was buried on April 19 in The Fellowship Chapel, Detroit, to a full house of 2,000 with thousands mourning outside. Eminem and Obie Trice read eulogies at the service. An excerpt from Eminem’s speech: “I’m sure everybody who has ever met him, even just once, can testify to the fact that he illuminated a room when he walked in it. I believe that Proof loved people and people loved him. He was a magnet. He lured you in. You wanted to learn about him, follow his swagger. Without Proof, there would be no Eminem, no Slim Shady, and no D12.” Many rap artists offered their condolences to Proof’s family after the passing. Proof is survived by his mother Sherallene; father McKinley; wife Sharonda; sons DeShaun Rice and Elijha Abel; and daughters Katieva Walker, Nassan, and Nyeem.

R.I.P. Proof you’ll always be in our hearts, your legend lives on forever.
