His Web site was updated Tuesday with the words “RIP Proof,” a tribute to the 32-year-old rapper who was gunned down in the early morning at a nightclub along Eight Mile, the road made famous by the 2002 movie that starred his mentor and close friend, Eminem.

Members of Proof’s family gathered at his home on Detroit's northwest side upon hearing word of his death. Vehicles lined the
residential street in front of his two-story house as people hugged each other on the sidewalk.

"Memorial service arrangements are still being made, and his friends and family would appreciate privacy during this difficult time," read a statement from Dennis Dennehy, the publicist for D12's label, Interscope Records.

Proof, born Deshaun Holton, and Eminem have been close friends since highschool and in an eerie bout of irony, Em’s video for “Like Toy Soldiers” shows the rapper pacing the hospital halls as doctors try to revive Proof – who had just been shot. Later in the clip, Em is shown at Proof’s funeral, as he raps about the escalation of violence among hip hop artists.
