M-Bone, a So-Cal hip-hopster with the Dougie-happy Cali Swag District, has
died after being gunned down in a drive-by shooting late last night.

Police in Inglewood confirm that a man was killed by two gunshots to the
head around 10:30 p.m. The victim was sitting in the passenger seat of a
car when another vehicle pulled up alongside and unloaded "at least two
rounds" into the car, according to Lt. Michael Marshall.

The victim was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead on arrival.
He was just 22.

Was there a motive?

"It looks like they knew each other," says Marshall. "It was not a
traditional drive-by." However, investigators don't have any suspects and
are asking for tipsters to call in.

Police didn't immediately identify M-Bone (aka Mante Talbert) as the
victim, pending notification of next of kin.

But a publicist for the group has confirmed to E! News that indeed the
performer, who was the group's comedic presence, was the one killed—and
claims he wasn't being purposely targeted

"Cali Swag District member Mante 'M-Bone' Talbert was the victim of a
random act of violence last night," the rep says, calling M-Bone "an
inspiration to his family, friends and fans."

Formed last year by M-Bone, C-Smoove, Yung and JayAre, Cali Swag District
immediately hit the charts with the huge crossover hit "Teach Me How to
Dougie."

Says the group's publicist of M-Bone: "He was a hardworking, passionate
artist and dancer that will be deeply missed."

Yeah, yeah, right...he was just an innocent bystander in Inglewood at
night. *

"Stay in School, kids"....The fact that you chose to post such a racist
and quite franklly uneducated comment, simply shows the type of "genre"
that you yourself come from. Listening to rap does not qualify an
indidivual as illiterate. Perhaps you thought you were being witty, but
you come off as quite the bigot. Please think before typing next time.

I'm not taking sides.... but I do think "stay in school kids" posted an

the death but after reading Educated Black Woman?'s comment... I do have
to agree and say can people say "I am an educated black woman", or come to
the Soul Circus, how about Black Entertainment Television. What if there
was a Causcasian Circus or White Music Videos..... or I introduced myself
