Chris Kaba death: How did rapper Chris Kaba die?
Mr. Kaba was shot after a pursuit of a suspect vehicle that ended in Kirkstall Gardens, Streatham Hill, at about 21:50 BST on Monday. Pastor Rachel Swaby said Mr. Kaba was a rapper known as Madix and part of the MOBO-nominated drill group 67. Kim Alleyne, 49, whose daughter Karima Waite was engaged to Mr. Kaba, said he had been due to become a father. She said: He was so loved. He was so funny. He was super-kind. Crazy. He was always happy. He’d do anything for you.
She added: He was a fiancé, and he was due to get married in five months. He’s got a baby on the way that he’s never going to see. It’s horrible and so shocking and so sad. She questioned why Mr. Kaba was shot, adding that her daughter was in a tremendous amount of pain. Ms. Alleyne said that had her daughter’s fiancé been white he would have been given a chance to get out of the car. Ms. Swaby, a pastor at New Park Road Baptist Church, told the BBC she felt physically sick learning about the death of Mr. Kaba.
