Wiz Khalifa’s 20-year-old uncle, Imani Porter, was killed last night from a single gunshot to the head while sitting in a car in the parking lot of a Steak ‘n Shake at The Waterfront near his hometown of Pittsburgh, PA.
According to detectives, two African American men took off on foot and were then picked up down the road along Waterfront Drive by an older, white Pontiac Bonneville. Police are actively searching for the 2 suspects. They also reveal there was heroin found in the car that Imani was shot in, as well as in the parking lot, so they believe that is a part of the motive. I did a quick web search hoping to find some photos of Imani, and though nothing came up, I did find this record of an arrest in 2011, also drug-related.
“My uncle was younger and more level headed than all of us. I would have never seen this happening in a million years,” Wiz later took to Twitter to say. More of his reaction in the gallery, and the full news report below. RIP, Imani.
