The musician’s record label Million Dollar Music confirmed his death with a tribute on Instagram, writing alongside a collection of photos, “It’s an honor to remain your friend until your last moments.”
“Your memories will always stay with us no matter where we go & what we do. Sleep in peace,” the post continued. “#LongLiveTdott ???????? Just know his legacy will always live, from his laugh to the dance everyone across the world does, some of us know him a friend, brother, cousin or just a fan but we all come together to tell you FLY HIGH ????????”
Tdott Woo, born Tahjay Dobson, was fatally shot in the Canarsie neighborhood of Brooklyn on Tuesday afternoon, the New York Police Department confirmed to PEOPLE.
The rapper sustained a gunshot wound to the head and was transported to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to police.
“He was a good, good kid,” Dobson’s grandmother told the New York Daily News. “He loved singing and dancing and all that. He had a passion for music.”
The relative, who declined to be identified by name, also told the outlet she heard four “very quick rapid shots” around the time Dobson was allegedly gunned down, adding that the shooting occurred right outside their home.
“They signed him to a record label,” the grandmother also said. “He posted it yesterday on Instagram.”
