US rapper Lil Marlo has died after being shot while driving in his car in Atlanta, Georgia.
The artist's record label Quality Control Music announced the death of Rudolph "Marlo" Johnson in a social media post, saying he will be remembered as "a man of great talent who feared nothing".
"With great sadness, we announce the loss of our beloved Marlo," the statement said. "In loving memory of a great son, father, and friend to many."
It added: "To Marlo, we love you and will miss you, as you will not be forgotten and the world will remember your name.
"A life so beautifully live deserves to be beautifully remembered."
Atlanta Police Department said a man named Rudolph Johnson was killed late on Saturday in what investigators believe was a targeted shooting.
Officers responded to a single-car wreck on Interstate 285 in Atlanta at about 11.30pm.
Police found the driver, later identified as Johnson, dead inside his vehicle, a statement said. Officers believe Johnson was shot while driving and he was the intended target.
Johnson emerged in 2017 collaborating with rapper and friend Lil Baby on "2 The Hard Way."
Earlier this year, the up-and-coming rapper released his project "1st & 3rd" featuring Future, Gucci Mane and Lil Baby.
"So Much Potential That The World Didn't Get A Chance To See. Love You Bro. It's Really Hard For Me To Say RIP," Quality Control Music CEO Pierre Thomas said on Instagram.
In a post on Instagram, rapper Lil Yachty said he and Johnson had been working on four songs on the morning of his death.
