A Kansas City, Missouri rapper probed in the killing of a San Francisco rapper was found dead on a Las Vegas construction site earlier this week.
The bodies of Fat Tone aka Anthony Watkins, 23, of Kansas City and Jermaine Akins, 22, were discovered by a security guard who noticed a car parked with its lights on in the construction site early Monday. One man was found in the car while the other was laid out on the ground near the vehicle.
According to the Clark County Coroner's Office, Fat Tone died of multiple gunshot wounds. The cause of Akins' death has yet to be determined. Kansas City police told The Kansas City Star that Tone was considered a person of interest in Andre Hicks' death, but was never called a suspect. Hicks aka Mac Dre, was killed in a drive-by shooting on Kansas City's U.S. 71 highway while he was being driven back to his hotel last November. Dre, 34, was in KC for a series of concerts and promotional appearances.
Word is Hicks' fans demanded a deadly retaliation on Hip-Hop web sites following his murder. Dre was the second California rapper shot and killed in Kansas City last year.
Fat Tone was wounded a year prior to Mac Dre's shooting when a gunman fired shots on a car transporting him and other performers from an interview at a Kansas City radio station.
In an unrelated incident, Tone and another unidentified man were charged with first-degree murder in connection to the shooting of a pregnant woman back in November 2002. According to authorities, the charges were dropped the following Spring when witnesses stopped cooperating.
Fat Tone previously recorded songs with Sacramento rapper C-Bo. Bo was recently featured in XXL Magazine's (July 2005) "The Jail Issue." Meanwhile, Mac Dre released over eight independent projects spanning from 1992 to 2000. The rapper collaborated with West Coast artists like B-Legit, Kokane, Warren G and JT The Bigga Figga.

I don't know how old this is but it suprised me. I have a feeling he might have not been the killer. Mac Dre's friends and fans I think have just been looking for anybody to put the blame on since it's been so long. RIP to both him and the Bay Area legend.
