Music R.I.P. Proof
A key member of Eminem’s notorious D12 hiphop crew, Proof (AKA 32-year-old Deshaun Holton), was fatally shot in the head during an argument at a strip club on Detroit’s 8 Mile Road, which was immortalized in the Eminem bio-pic 8 Mile. A respected battle rapper, Proof appeared in that film and was Em’s best man in his second marriage to Kim Mathers in January.
Obie Trice, another Motor City MC tight with Eminem, was shot while driving on a metro Detroit freeway in December 2005.
Not sure about the "strip club" part. From what I've read on line, the bar was in a strip mall. FWIW, while that is not the nicest area of town, it isn't the worst either. He was within several blocks of being in one of the wealthier neighborhoods in Detroit. Of course, Detroit is one of those cities where, literally, one side of the street is wealthy and the other side of the street can be a slum.
