HavinMotion: Rising Maryland Rapper Shot Dead

0:00On April 28, rising Maryland rapper Havin' Motion, real name Dwayne Isaacs, was shot and killed last week in South East DC. The 22-year-old from Upper Marborough died from gunshot wounds on April 23, 2026, around 1011 PM on the 3,300 block of Wheeler Road.

He had spread fast on social media, with folks like Redville and other area artists pouring out love and condolences for the how life been creator, mourning a real talent cut short. Police from DC's Metropolitan Department responded quick, but despite EMS efforts, Isaacs didn't make it, no arrests or suspects named yet in the report. This hits hard in a city where the beats keep dropping amid too many losses, will stay tuned as more comes to light on what happened to Havin' Motion.
