Hip-hop DJ and BET host Corey McGriff, aka DJ Megatron, was shot and killed Sunday morning near his Staten Island home.

The 32-year old father of three was reportedly on his way to a nearby bodega to buy a cigar when he was shot once in the chest.

Megatron was found dead at approximately 2 a.m. on Osgood Avenue, a block from his apartment in the Stapleton section of Staten Island.

According to neighborhood residents, who spoke to the Staten Island Advance McGriff was found face down, lying half in the street. His cell phone and wallet were still on his body when police arrived, which seems to rule out robbery as a motive for the crime.

Keith Robinson, the brother of the victim’s fiancee, told the New York Times he believed the incident to be a “random killing.”

“This was the wrong place at the wrong time,” he said.

McGriff recently became engaged to Robinson’s sister Shyleen. The couple have a 10 month-old son.

While friends and family members say the Hot 97 DJ didn’t have any enemies, a series of comments were posted to YouTube videos featuring McGriff suggesting he owed money to someone.

One of those comments, posted by a user calling themself “MegaPayup,” read: “(I) use to think he was mad cool, had mad respect for him. I always helped him out when ever he needed it, with out a question. This one time tho, i was the fool. Did him a huge favor cuz i understand we all need the help at times. Time arrived for Mega to own up to his responsibility and? what do u know? he is dodging me, how ugly is that?”

Despite being regarded as “community minded” by some neighbors, McGriff’s record is far from squeaky clean. According to The New York Post, he has had several drug-related arrests in the past, as well as weapons charges.

The Post also reported that one of McGriff’s children, a 4 year-old boy, had been left home alone while the DJ went out.
