A Houston rapper was shot to death Monday night.
KHOU-TV
John Hawkins, aka Big Hawk.
John Hawkins, aka Big Hawk, was killed at Redfern at East Orem.
More than 100 fans and friends gathered at the scene as news of his death spread.
Sources said they don’t believe Hawkins was the intended target. Houston police said neighbors heard gunfire around 10:30 p.m.
When they came outside, they found Hawkins, who had been shot multiple times.
Witnesses said Hawkins’ car was parked outside of his friend’s home and it was still running. He did not make it inside the home.
Apparently no one witnessed the shooting.
Heartbroken family and friends said Hawkins was not a violent person.
He had recently gotten married and had two young children.
“He was a very kind-hearted person,” friend Ericka Chatman said. “He never bothered anybody; he would be somebody that would keep the peace. You know, if he heard you were getting into it with somebody else, he’d tell you to squash it, because he never was about negativity. Never.”
Others echoed Chatman’s sentiments.
“All rappers are not bad rappers, you know,” neighbor Edwin Mitchell said. “I mean, everybody has God in them, and at the same time you know, we as individuals come out to support. Not for a negative cause, but a positive cause.”
Hawkins was born in Houston and was a member of DJ Screw’s Screwed Up Click. One of his best-known songs is “You Already Know.”
Hawkins brother, Patrick Hawkins, was murdered 1998. He too was a popular rapper.

hopefully the SUC will step up and take care of Lil Pat(and Hawk´s kids) coz H.A.W.K´s the one that´s been providing for him since Pat passed. this shit´s sad though and just 5 minutes ago i checked out this interview with Scott Storch and he had this to say about H.A.W.K.
14) MH2- I’ve been seeing this track Hawk featuring Lil Jon, ‘Hoes Ain’t Shit’, produced by you; whose that Hawk kid?
Hawk, I think he is some guy who wants to be a rapper, I don’t think he is quite there yet, it’s not a real official Scott Storch produced record right there, it’s just a track.
R.I.P. Fat Pat,DJ Screw,Big Mello,Big Steve and H.A.W.K.

^^ That's another Hawk.
Damn man... I can't believe he got popped. He was about to get some shine on that Trae track right now too. Damn shame. R.I.P. to H.A.W.K.
