According to reports, QC artist Wavy Navy Pooh was gunned down in a drive-by shooting on Friday that reportedly left behind 80 shell casings. Police say Wavy Navy Pooh, real name Shandler Antoine Beaubien, was the only person wounded in the shooting despite his two children and another woman being in the vehicle. 

“Once officers arrived is when they discovered in a Toyota 4-door that the driver was suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Once fire rescue responded, they were able to pronounce the driver deceased here on the scene,” said Miami-Dade Police Public Information Officer Alvaro Zabaleta.

“The victim, in this case, was at the intersection of 152 Street and 127th Avenue getting ready to make a right to go eastbound on 152 Street. When an unknown vehicle, a Lexus approached him from the driver’s side and opened fire and then fled westbound,” Zabeleta added. 

In a tribute post, Quality Control Music said, “It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the loss of one of our beloved artists Wavy Navy Pooh… Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.”

Virgin Records also issued a statement, “Wavy believed in giving back to his community, as well as sharing his hardship through his music. Wavy, your Quality Control family loves and will forever miss you.”

Police haven't disclosed whether this was an instance of road rage or a targeted attack.
