A source told the Times that Caldwell died from his injuries.
No arrests have been made.
The festival ended an hour early due to the presence of 50 Cent and Snoop Dogg.
On December 1st, Caldwell turned 28. His artistry was defined by a "dark humor that characterized his work", according to Rolling Stone, and he came to prominence with the release of his first mixtape, I Am Mr. Mosely. The album Thank You For Using GTL was described as a stark rebuke of the justice system and an unparalleled achievement for a rapper and his producer. The recording was made from jail, where he was awaiting trial on charges related to the 2016 killing of a man. He was acquitted of felony murder and attempted murder charges and was released last November after pleading guilty to shooting from a motor vehicle with a gang enhancement.
The quote is crucial.
Drake collaborated with Caldwell on the song "Talk To Me", and other people have paid tribute to the artist. The Canadian rapper said on his social media that Drakeo picked his spirit up with his energy.
