See, what I mean, @anon72705028? Both headlines lead with the word “rapper”, which has nothing to do with the case at hand. Could you imagine the headline reading “Dock Worker Shot 8,000 Times by Cops While Waiting in Line at Wendy’s”? Sure, if he was shot in the studio or on the way to a gig or something, but in these cases it has no bearing whatsoever. Same as the presence of a gun as @taconami points out.
ETA: Some reference Karl Lagerfeld dead at 85
