Over a thousand fans, friends and family members of Andre “Mac Dre” Hicks gathered to bid the rapper farewell yesterday (November 9th) in California.
The rapper’s music blared from vehicles of the Fairfield church the parking lot, while viewers looked at Mac Dre’s body, which was covered with a plastic shield to prevent people from touching the body.
Meanwhile, police continue to investigate Mac Dre’s shooting, which happened early in the morning of November 1st in Kansas City, Missouri.
Police have met a stone wall of silence from associates of Mac Dre and fear that a rap war or some sort of retaliation is being planned.
Kansas City Police Department detectives said they were monitoring Hip-Hop websites, seeking clues. Detectives said the websites revealed that “California was planning to retaliate.”
One lead they are pursuing is that a rapper named Fat Tone was involved in the murder of Hicks, but said they had nothing to substantiate the lead.
Sources told AllHipHop.com that police believe Fat Tone may have thought Mac Dre was involved in an altercation earlier this month.
In that incident, Fat Tone allegedly was leaving a Kansas City nightclub and was shot at. He was not injured.
In March, Ramone C. Davis, 31, of San Diego was shot to death in Kansas City as well. Police said a man tried to rob Davis of 10 pounds of marijuana. A 27-year-old Kansas City man was charged in that case.
