Another Rapper got murdered... Stack Bundles Murdered, Details Begin To Unfold By: MetroGnome Published: Jun. 12, 2007 - New York, NY Stack Bundles, a Byrd Gang member and native to Far Rockaway, Queens, was shot and killed early yesterday morning near his home off Beach Channel Drive. Details are beginning to surface, but no arrests have been made or assailants identified in connection with the homicide of Bundles, born name Rayquon Elliott. Stack was seen earlier that night at Stereo nightclub with his crew enjoying a problem-free evening. A friend traveled home with Bundles and had entered the building before the rapper. Upon hearing gunfire, the unidentified associate ran back into the building lobby to find Stack shot once in the head and the neck. The gunman had already fled the scene. Cash and credit cards appear to have been untouched, but a medallion necklace seems to have been taken from Elliott. Freekey Zekey of Diplomat Records issued a statement after hearing of the unfortunate news. He cited, "I just want to say life is never promised tomorrow, so you have to live your life to the fullest. Sometime you question the Lord's actions on certain things, but you just got to live steadfast. So don't make this a situation where you clam up and go in a shell. Big shout out to the big homie, we love you and will always remember you." Additionally, Lupe Fiasco, a close friend and one-time labelmate with Bundles, issued a statement on Myspace about the incident. Lupe wrote: "R.I.P.
