UPDATED INFORMATION ON BIG HAWK!!!!
Big Hawk, a Houston rapper whose 2001 album reached No. 45 on Billboard's rap chart, was shot to death according to HPD. Hawk, whose real name was John Edward Hawkins, was a member of the late DJ Screw's rap collective the Screwed Up Click and brother to rapper Fat Pat, who was killed in 1998. Hawk had planned to meet a friend Monday night but apparently arrived before the friend and walked to the side of the house where he was shot several times, police said. He died at the scene. Police do not have a suspect and their only lead involves a witness who saw a white compact car with tinted windows nearby shortly after the shooting according to HPD spokesman John Cannon. Hawk, 36, scored a regional hit with 2002's "You Already Know'' and was recently featured on the popular single "Swang'' by Trae that included a posthumous contribution from Hawk's brother. His 2001 self-titled album reached No. 45 on Billboard's list of top R&B and rap albums.
