I never heard of this rapper, but I don't listen to rap so there's that. But why are these driveby shootings happening?!?! As I was reading the links to Travon, there was another mentioned in the article..

Wopo’s killing came the same day that 20-year-old rising star rapper XXXTentacion was shot and killed outside a motorcycle dealership in Florida.

Maybe I found the answer to my question

There were no other reports of injuries or property damage. Investigators said they believe the event to have been an isolated incident that does not pose a public safety threat.

Wopo, whose birth name is Travon Smart, has a history of drug-related charges. He has said prior to Monday's shooting that he'd been shot six times.
