   There is an epidemic of murder in hip hop, or dare I say genocide?    
      
   What will it take to bring peace to the genre?

   A Los Angeles hip-hop artist and rapper was killed Monday after he was run   
   over and pinned beneath a trailer following an altercation with a driver in   
   North Hollywood, authorities said.   
      
   Taariq Grant, 28, of Los Angeles, whose performing name is Yngx 17, was   
   identified by the Los Angeles County coroner’s office as the man killed.   
      
   Los Angeles police said a pedestrian and a driver who was hauling a trailer   
   engaged in a “brief verbal altercation” at Riverside Drive and Camarillo   
   Street about 3:40 p.m., LAPD spokesperson Lizeth Lomeli said.   
      
   The pedestrian then climbed atop the trailer, which crashed into a concrete   
   divider, causing him to fall and become trapped beneath its wheels, police   
   said.   
      
   First-responders pronounced the man, who was later identified as Grant, dead   
   at the scene. A family member on Tuesday confirmed Grant’s death and his   
   musical recording work as Yngx 17.   
      
   The death is still under investigation, police said.
