Which Boogie Down Productions member was killed in 1987?

Scott La Rock was the Boogie Down Productions member killed in 1987.

Born Scott Monroe Sterling, La Rock was a Bronx DJ, producer, and founding member of Boogie Down Productions. He met KRS-One while working as a social worker at a Bronx men's shelter, and the pair formed BDP with D-Nice. Their 1987 debut, Criminal Minded, became a landmark of early East Coast hip hop.

On August 27, 1987, La Rock went with D-Nice and others to confront men involved in an earlier dispute. Gunfire struck the vehicle as they left the Highbridge Homes area; La Rock suffered a fatal gunshot wound and was later declared brain dead. Two men were charged but acquitted. A common mix-up is identifying D-Nice, who was involved in the dispute, as the victim. La Rock's death occurred while BDP's follow-up album was being made, and By All Means Necessary was released in 1988 with KRS-One continuing the group.
