Authorities reported Ronald Moore aka “Gonzoe” was three times in the chest in his vehicle at a gas station Friday evening. Before his death, Moore ran to the nearest Shell station for help then collapsed and was transported to a local hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Moore was a member of the group Kausion who was known for their hit album “South Central Skanless” and the single “What You Wanna Do?” feat. Ice Cube. The group later disbanded in 1996 over contractual disputes with Ice Cube’s label Lynch Mob Records. Later that year, Tupac Shakur gave the rapper the nickname “Gonzoe” after he became a member of the Outlawz when Shakur signed up with Death Row Records.

Before his death, Moore had plans to launch more business ventures and launched a boxing league with former rival Boskoe100. The league titled “Glovez Up Gunz Down” focused on settling rap beefs within the ring. He said in a statement to Revolt that Moore was attending a studio session and went to get something to eat.
‘According to Boskoe, Gonzoe left a late-night studio session to grab a bite to eat from a nearby bowling alley. At the bowling alley, Gonzoe allegedly got into an altercation. The assailant followed Gonzoe outside the bowling alley, Boskoe said in an IG LIVE and fatally shot him.’
