Update: HipHopDX spoke to Big Twins who has confirmed that Kiing Shooter passed away from COVID, which he caught while hospitalized for liver problems. 

"He was the one that broke through the most, getting hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube and really coming with it. Me and his father go way back … we used to play basketball together and he used to date my older sister," Twins said. "But Shooter next up to represent the Bridge … I’m stunned today. Rest in peace Shooter.”
