It is heartbreaking to hear about the tragic death of John Whitehead, the famous R&B artist who sang the popular 1979 song “Aint No Stoppin Us Now”. It is even more devastating to know that he was shot and killed outside his home. The police have reported that Whitehead and another man were driving when two gunmen opened fire, hitting Whitehead in the neck and causing him to collapse. The other man, Odey Johnson, was shot in the hip but is in stable condition. It is unclear why Whitehead was targeted, and his daughter Dawn is understandably distraught and asking why anyone would want to kill her father. The investigation is ongoing, but the police believe that Johnson may not have been the intended target. It is a senseless act of violence, and our thoughts go out to Whiteheads family and loved ones during this difficult time.
