(AllHipHop News) The members of Cali Swag District are speaking out against the murder of group member Mante "M-Bone" Talbert, who was shot and killed during a drive-by, in Inglewood, California on Sunday (May 15th).

Cali Swag District appeared on TMZ.com during a live stream yesterday (May 17th), and denied reports that M-Bone was somehow affiliated with gang activity.

And while police seek witnesses and a motive for the shooting, Cali Swag District's members strongly denounced rumors that M-Bone may have been involved in drugs or gang related crimes. 

"I wanna clear up: It had nothing to do with gang violence, it wasn't nothing like that. It was just a 'wrong place at the wrong time' situation," C-Smoove said before beginning to cry over his lost friend.

Inglewood police are exploring various leads to catch the suspect, who open fired on M-Bone as he sat in a car, in front of a liquor store.

According to reports, M-Bone had recently started dating a local woman, but a man involved with the woman took offense to the relationship and began threatening the rapper on Twitter.

As Cali Swag District mourns the loss of the M-Bone, their hit single "Teach Me How to Dougie" has been nominated for a BET Award.
