COMPTON - Andre Romelle Young, more known by his stage name Dr. Dre, was shot fifteen times today during a filming of an advertisement for one his technological ventures Beats by Dre under the Beats Electronics brand. The scene was being shot in Downtown Compton.

The American record producer, rapper and entrepreneur received fatal gunshot wounds at around 9 PM tonight while the filming crew stood by in shock as the medical response team attended him. Dr. Dre was shooting a scene with twelve alleged Compton gang members when a vehicle drove by and began firing specifically at the hip-hop billionaire.

"They [meant] to do that on purpose," said one of the participants in the commercial who was wearing an all-red outfit with tattoo of guns, dollar signs and the word "BLOODS" all over his skin.

The Los Angeles Police Department has already ruled out the possibility for this to be a random drive-by shooting as the gunner was definitely targeting Dr. Dre who was in the middle of the scene. "We believe that this is still a gang-related incident as the gunman and several others in the car began shouting profanities typically shouted against Bloods gang members."

UPDATE - Dr. Dre is currently being attended by three doctors at the UCLA Medical Center where he was transferred to after spending two hours in a Compton hospital. He's currently being guarded by his entourage and a group of policemen is surrounding his hospital room.
