Tommy “Butta” Hill Dies From Gunshot Wounds

HSK Exclusive - Former Roc-a-Fella associate Tommy “Butta” Hill has died after being shot during a robbery outside of a Philadelphia nigh spot.

The 36-year-old Philadelphia rapper was critically wounded about 1:30 am Friday at Reuben’s Mark bar. That’s where cops say the manager of the spot followed Hill, who reportedly left the bar without paying his tab. While collecting his tab from Hill in the parking lot, the manager reportedly spotted three masked men in dark clothing across the street -- who approached them and announced a robbery.

The manager stepped back and watched as two of the robbers rifled through Hill’s pockets, before shooting him in the chest and lower body -- sparking the manager to pull his own gun and, joined by the bar’s security guard, trade gunfire with the masked bandits.

Authorities say the robbers fled in three different directions, and no one else was hurt.

Hill was rushed to Albert Einstein Medical Center, where he was reported in critical condition before dying soon thereafter. Police say their investigation continues.
