What are the chances the cosmos decided to throw a curveball right when the fugitive accused of killing rapper Chris King was finally caught after over a year on the lam? On May 29, Adrian Cameron Jr., was nabbed in Los Angeles in connection to the tragic shooting outside a Nashville music studio back in April 2024 — just hours after King had rocked the stage at Nashville Cannafest. Now, while Mercury might NOT have been in retrograde (thank god), this deadly drama unfolding right before the Gemini season’s chatterfest sure makes you wonder—can the stars predict justice served or missed? Chris King, known for his tight bonds with big names like Trippie Redd, Justin Bieber, and Machine Gun Kelly, left a void that sent shockwaves through the music scene. As Cameron faces serious charges and an impending extradition, the music world is left grappling with grief, loss, and questions only time (and the stars) might answer. LEARN MORE.
The fugitive accused of killing rapper Chris King was taken into custody in Los Angeles on Thursday (May 29) in connection with the fatal shooting during a robbery outside a Nashville music studio in April 2024.
Authorities say Adrian Cameron Jr., 22, had been on the run for over a year following the killing, which occurred just hours after Chris King performed at Nashville Cannafest on April 19.
The Metro Nashville Police Department said King and his friends were targeted in a robbery on Hayes Street, where the rapper was shot and killed.
At the time of the shooting, Cameron was already out on bond for a separate 2021 homicide case. He was indicted shortly after Chris King’s death but managed to evade capture until this week.
Investigators tracked Cameron to Los Angeles, where he was located and arrested without incident.
Chris King had close ties with artists like Trippie Redd, Justin Bieber, and Machine Gun Kelly.
His death prompted an outpouring of grief across the music world. Bieber wrote on Instagram Stories, “Love you bro. This one hurts. Please keep his family in your prayers.”
Trippie Redd posted several tributes, while Keke Palmer remembered Chris King for his warmth and early work in entertainment.
Cameron now faces murder and robbery charges in Tennessee and is expected to be extradited in the coming weeks.
