Dallas Rapper Zeethewizard Dies After Shootout
DALLAS – No one has been arrested, and Dallas police have not provided details about the shootout that led to the death of local rapper Zeethewizard.
Community Involvement
Just before Christmas, FOX 4 reported on a holiday toy drive that the artist was involved in.
Zecqurie Fields, known as Zeethewizard, was loved for giving back to his community.
A social media video shared with FOX 4 shows Fields coaching a boys’ basketball team.
Remembering Zeethewizard
Years ago, Terrence Randolph was Fields’ football coach. Randolph’s children grew up with Fields, who wore jersey number one. Randolph described Fields as an “amazing young man.”
“They knew he was the one,” Randolph said.
Terreon Randolph, a friend of Fields, called him a “great guy.”
“Very genuine. Did whatever he could to help anybody. His heart was always in the right place,” Terreon said.
Details of the Incident
On New Year’s Day, Fields was one of five people struck during a shootout in the parking lot of Pinkhouse Dallas nightclub. He died in a hospital on January 5.
It is unclear if Fields was involved in the shooting.
Police have not confirmed the number of shooters, a motive, or if all five victims were intended targets or bystanders.
Police Investigation
Dallas PD declined FOX 4’s request for an interview but stated:
“Detectives across multiple specialized units are working collaboratively to review evidence, analyze video and digital information, and pursue all available leads.”
Police have not provided medical updates on the other shooting victims.
