Rapper Baby Cino has been shot dead moments after he lefts a Miami prison.
The aspiring rapper was released from jail on Wednesday and killed shortly afterwards.
The 20-year-old rapper, who was formerly known as Timothy Starks, had been released from Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
He had been held thereafter being arrested on a gun charge, according to Miami Herald reports.
His car was then gunned down just minutes after he was picked up, with the shooter allegedly firing at least 40 shots from another car.
The red Nissan then hit a wall on the ramp and the rapper, who was still wearing an inmate wristband, was hit with several shots.

This included a gunshot wound to the head, says the Miami Herald.
The driver of the Nissan, Baby Cino’s friend, Dante Collins Banks, 20, was also shot in the abdomen and treated at a local hospital.
His friends’ mother told WSVN that her son had picked the rapper up after he had been arrested and she had tragically been on the phone with him when the shooting started.

She said: “My son was OK. He was talking. He was just shook up ’cause his friend got shot,’ adding that he has since been released from hospital.”
The identity of the gunman remains unknown, however, police told the outlet that “a dark-coloured vehicle was seen fleeing the area at a high rate of speed”.
Local law enforcement sources told the Miami Herald that they are investigating whether the shooting is connected to Miami street gangs.

This is due to a string of other similar incidents which have occurred recently in the community.
Another similar incident is the murder of rapper Wavy Navy Pooh, who was shot to death in his car near Zoo Miami.
Another similar death was the shooting of Brianna Sutherland, who was killed while driving on Interstate 95 in February, with police believing she had not been the intended target.
