A rapper was killed in a revenge shooting three years after being acquitted of murder
Telford: A rapper was shot dead in a shocking act of revenge. Tamba Momodu, known as Teerose, was just 20 years old when he was killed. It happened on October 13, 2020, as he sat in a car with friends, ready to hit the gym.
He had moved to Telford from London in 2018, hoping for a fresh start after being cleared of murder charges. That case involved another rapper, Abdullahi Tarabi, who was stabbed in 2017. Sadly, it seems the past caught up with him.
Prosecutors say that Tarabi’s brother and cousin tracked him down for revenge. They had been watching him closely, making multiple trips to Telford before finally ambushing him. It was a well-planned attack, and they used a stolen car to carry it out.
As he sat in a friend’s car, they approached and shot him multiple times. It was brutal and calculated, with no chance for him to defend himself. After the shooting, they set the getaway car on fire, trying to cover their tracks.
Investigators found evidence that they had been searching for his address for a long time. It’s heartbreaking to think that he was just trying to live his life, and now his family is left mourning a young man who had so much potential.
The trial is ongoing, and the defendants are facing serious charges. Momodu’s family described him as a bright and charismatic person who brought joy to those around him. It’s a tragic reminder of how violence can disrupt lives and communities.
