Indian Red Boy gets shot in car on IG

On July 8th, 2021 the young rapper Indian Red Boy (Zerail Dijon Rivera) was on an Instagram live with his friend kapaalxt8 when he got ambushed and shot by unknown gang members. It was believed to be motivated by gang affiliation and was premeditated. They had walked up to his car and just set it ablaze while everyone witnessed on live. At least 12 shots were fired as he then tried yelling help. Assuming something relating to his speech was shot and afflicted he could only whisper to his friend Kapone “i'm in hawthorne” before trying to drive to safety as the live quickly ended. It is believed that his death was because he had recently vandalized a memorial of a crip and disrespecting the deceased rapper Nipsey Hussle.

pretty eerie nonetheless, the way he is restricted from communicating after being shot freaks me out.

The reason he couldn't speak isn't due to the bullets hitting his vocal cords etc, it's due to one of the bullets hitting him in the chest, causing a pneumothorax (likely haemopneumothorax). The deflation of the lung and the lost of internal pressure means that he cannot expel air through his mouth. It's similar to if you expel all air for your lungs during a long exhale, then you try to speak. It's exceedingly difficult.
