"Rapper Proof of the hip-hop group D12 was shot and killed this morning at an illegal afterhours club on Eight Mile, police said.

(snip)

"Proof was among the most pivotal players on the Detroit hip-hop scene, and revered as one of the best freestyle MCs in the city. He befriended Eminem long before he was a houshold name, and was a nearly constant presence as the rapper rose to superstardom."

4. I wonder where on 8 Mile it occurred?

I live right off of 8 Mile on the Warren side. I live a mile or two away from the trailer park where they shot scenes for his movie. The part of Detroit that is across the great divide from me is a fairly peaceful neighborhood.
