Rapper Kid Cali Killed In California
Police are looking for answers in the shooting death of Kid Cali, a California rapper gunned down at a local party.
Over the weekend the rapper formerly of NFL player DeSean Jackson’s Jaccpot Entertainment label, was at a mansion pool party when shots rang out and he was hit six times.
Kid Cali, a rapper who once had a recording contract with an NFL player’s label, was fatally shot after a fight broke out at a mansion pool party over the weekend in Granada Hills, police said.
The rapper, whose real name was Justin Lishey, was hit by several shots, along with two other men who were wounded by gunfire at about 9 p.m. Saturday.
The shooting occurred at a large home that had been rented for the “Millions of Models Mansion Pool Party,” police said.
Lishey, 30, was taken to Mission Hills hospital, where he died from his wounds, officials said.
Los Angeles Police Department Deputy Chief Bob Green said the investigation into the killing is in its early stages, but that detectives have determined a fight broke out just before the shooting.
Dorthea Devilla, a friend of the rapper, said she stood a few away during the incident, which occurred in the backyard near a deejay. She said that she didn’t see the gun, but a man approached Justin and tried to shake his hand and the recording artist declined.
Friends of Cali are now wondering why it took an ambulance over 30 minutes to arrive to the scene.
DJ Goonie was set to play the last two songs of a pool party at a mansion in Granada Hills, Saturday. That’s when he heard several gunshots and turned to see the crowd scatter. He left his equipment to calm the crowd and find out if anyone was hurt.
He saw his friend Justin Lishey, better known as rapper Kid Cali, down on the ground, with his hands up near his chest, as if he was going to get up and brush himself off.

“I called the police 3, 4 times, nobody’s coming. The helicopters up there, flashing a light. No ambulance is coming and it’s been 30 minutes already.”
In his efforts to keep Cali conscious, Goonie laid down beside him and talked to him. “I’m like, Cali. It’s Goonie.” Cali took a deep breath and reached for him.
The ambulance finally arrived and took Cali to the hospital where he died.
SMH at an ambulance taking 30 whole minutes to get to Cali.
Stop the violence people!!!!!
