A man that was found dead from gunshot wounds after his body was discovered in a single-vehicle car crash in Annapolis, Maryland, Friday night has been identified as 32-year-old Maryland rapper Tre Da Kid, a.k.a. Edward Montre Seay. Prior to identifying the deceased as Tre, the Annapolis Police Department issued the following statement on their Facebook page Friday night at 10:01 p.m.:

Shooting Investigation in Annapolis on Forest Dr – 06/07.  At 9:19 pm we received a call reporting shots fired on Forest Dr near Newtowne Dr. Officers arrived on scene and discovered a single vehicle collision at Forest Dr and South Cherry Grove Av.   We believe one or more occupants of the vehicle were struck by gunfire.   We are not confirming the number injured or the extent of injuries at this time.

Police closed off the road at the site of the car crash and had it opened back up by 3 a.m. on Saturday morning. Tre was the only occupant found in the crashed vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene. According to CBS News in Maryland, Tre was born in Annapolis. 

Tre rose to hip hop prominence after winning Verizon’s #Freestyle50 rap contest back in 2016.  For winning that contest, he won a cash prize of $10,000. He also scored a deal with a hip-hop label 300 Entertainment.

“Tre impressed the judges with his delivery, showmanship and off-the-dome creativity,” Kevin Liles, co-founder of 300 Entertainment, said at the time.

The single from his victory was called “Run It,” and was released in 2017.

“This is seriously a dream come true,” he told Verizon at the time. Verizon said Seay started rapping at age 6, and was also a finalist in a BET freestyle competition in 2011. ~ per MSN
