Kevhani Camilla Hicks, 27, who goes by the rap name Key Vhani was caught on camera gunning down her manager on October 9 after he and another man put hands on her in the street. In the footage shared by NBC Miami, Hicks was seen getting out a white Lexus with her manager before the two seemingly got into a heated argument and then started punching each other. In the footage you see another man getting out the car and then both of the men started attacking Hicks. At one point in the video you can see the two men throw Hicks to the ground and pin her down.
After things seemed to calm down Hicks was seen walking the opposite direction but then she pulled out a firearm from her bag and began to open fire. Her manager tried to get away but Hicks fired multiple shots at him until he was left laid out on the ground. That’s when the other man who attacked Hicks jumped in the white car and tried to drive away but ran over Hicks in the process. The man drove away after hitting her with the car but Hicks seemed to be okay and got up ran down the sidewalk.
Responding cops found the manager with multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to a hospital but later died. Hicks, who was hospitalized with blunt-force injuries, told police the shooting was an act of self-defense and that she had feared for her life.

“The defendant stated she was in fear due to the victim’s size and upon hearing the victim yell ‘I’ll kill you with one hit,’” a police report from the incident read, according to NBC Miami.
A GoFundMe set up for Hicks by an apparent family member alleged the two men in the video have “assaulted her multiple times.”
The rapper was placed in custody, but is expected to be released after a judge granted her $50,000 bond and house arrest in a recent hearing.
An attorney for Hicks called the incident a “clear case of self-defense.”
