Chicago drill figure BloodHound PoohMan shot dead
Naseem Thomas, a 26-year-old drill figure known as BloodHound PoohMan, was shot and killed in Chicago on Friday night. The incident occurred in the 7500 block of South Cottage Grove Avenue in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood.
According to police reports, two individuals in a black sedan approached Thomas while he was standing near his vehicle outside a business. After the shooting began, Thomas attempted to flee in his car, but the gunmen pursued him through traffic. He was struck in the back and the knee before crashing into a pole in the 7400 block of South Cottage Grove. He was pronounced dead at the University of Chicago Medical Center.
The shooting took place only hours after the funeral for BloodHound Q50, a 22-year-old rapper who was killed on September 13. Q50’s service was held in Northwest Indiana, where multiple agencies, including the Merrillville Police Department, provided security for the procession to Calumet Park Cemetery. No arrests have been made in the shooting of Thomas, and detectives are currently investigating.
