The body of late rapper Goonew was reportedly propped up for his “final show” at a Washington D.C. nightclub over the weekend.
Goonew, 24, was shot in a car park in Prince Georgeâs County, Maryland on March 18 and died hours later in hospital. Goonew’s family believes that he was the victim of an armed robbery, and Prince Georgeâs County Police is offering $25,000 for information leading to the perpetrator(s) arrest.
The Maryland native’s life was celebrated on Sunday (April 3) with a memorial party at Bliss Nightclub. Footage appears to show his body hoisted up on stage as his supporters danced nearby.

Bliss Nightclub has since issued a statement revealing that it was “never made aware” that Goonew’s body would be on display. âBliss was contacted by a local funeral home to rent out our venue for Goonewâs home-going celebration. We sincerely apologise to all those who may be upset or offended. Please keep Goonewâs family and friends in your prayers at this difficult time. Respectfully, Bliss DC.” the statement said via Complex.
A rapper named Black Fortune who attended the event confirmed to the publication that it was Goonewâs (real name Markelle Morrow) real body and âno wax figureâ, as some people had queried. âAs long as his mother was happy thatâs all that matter,â he said.
