[edit] Death

On May 21st, 1999, Bugz, a friend, and his friend's cousin were spending the afternoon at Detroit's Belle Isle Park. An altercation arose when a man sprayed Bugz' friend's cousin with a high-powered water gun and she took offense. A heated argument ensued which escalated into a fistfight, and Bugz intervened on his friend's behalf. At this point, a friend of the man with the water gun went into a car, drew a rifle, and fired at Bugz, who was looking away at the time. He was hit three times at close range in the neck and chest. The men then ran Bugz over in the car. An ambulance was called, but due to traffic on the bridge to Belle Isle, it took them thirty minutes to get onto the island. Bugz was rushed to a nearby hospital, but was unable to be resuscitated.[1]

D12 made the song "Good Die Young" in Bugz' memory. In addition, all 6 original members of D12 have Bugz' name tatooed somewhere on their bodies. Elzhi has also made a dedication song to Bugz on his Witness My Growth mixtape.
