The musician was part of New Dallas, a loose collective of friends who advocate for peace and unity in the local rap scene.

Oh. Well, I mean being a musician, the scene often turns violent. Been that way since the early 1700's. Good advocacy.

Zec’Qurie Cannon Grant Fields, 25, was critically injured shortly before 4 a.m. Thursday when gunfire erupted at Pink House Dallas, an after-hours club near Empire Central and North Stemmons Freeway. New Year’s Eve was the club’s grand opening, according to advertisements shared on social media.

So a grand opening for an after-hours club... does that mean they had just started selling coffee and soft drinks at 3:00 am or so?
