Rapper Mo3 is dead after being gunned down in a terrifying daylight shooting.

TMZ reports the rapper was shot dead on Wednesday afternoon after an incident on the I-35 in Dallas.

Law enforcement sources have told the site that the musician was shot just before noon, and was transferred to hospital, where he died from his injuries.

It’s said that Mo3 – real name Melvin Noble – and the gunman were both travelling northbound on the I-35 when the gunman got out of his car and approached Mo3’s vehicle.

The rapper, who was 28, is then believed to have got out of his car and started running, with the gunman chasing him and firing multiple rounds and hitting Mo3 in the back of the head.
