What is going on... https://www.theguardian.com/music/2...lled-aged-28-after-stabbing-at-music-festival
"A source speaking to the LA Times said Caldwell had been attacked on the festival site by a group of people on Saturday evening. He was taken to hospital in a critical condition, where he later died.
The festival’s promoter, Live Nation, said: “There was an altercation in the roadway backstage. Out of respect for those involved and in coordination with local authorities, artists and organizers decided not to move forward with remaining sets so the festival was ended an hour early.” A set by Snoop Dogg was canceled.
In 2017, he was jailed for 11 months for illegal firearm possession. In March 2018, he was detained once more, on a murder charge dating back to a shooting incident in December 2016.
He continued to record music while incarcerated – the mixtape Thank You For Using GTL was recorded down a prison phone line – and was eventually acquitted of the murder charges in July 2019. After a plea deal for a charge of criminal conspiracy, he was released in November 2020."
