Rashad Owens, the 22-year old man who killed two people and injured a further 23 in a collision on the streets of Austin during SXSW, wanted to be a rap star.
Owens’ music was released through a small indie label Gavah Entertainment. The label hasn’t posted anything on Twitter since 2012 and we assume it to now be defunct but the last tweet posted was about Owens who went by his rap name KAB.
