Bay Area rapper Spice 1 was shot in his car during the early morning hours of Monday (December 3). SOHH has learned that the rapper (born Robert L. Green, Jr.) is reportedly in critical condition.
The incident took place around 12:30 a.m. in the 26000th block of Chiplaw Ave. in Hayward, Calif. Lieutenant Reid Lindblom of the Hayward Californina police, spoke to SOHH about the shooting.
"The victim was asleep in his car, parked in the driveway of his house when an unknown suspect apparently came up to the side of the car and [shot] him in the chest," Lindblom said. "The victim indicated that he was asleep and became aware of somebody standing next to the car."
Other reports have said Spice 1 was shot twice, but police confirmed he was actually only struck once.
Police say a motive is still unclear but investigators have been assigned to the case.
"It's premature to say that there are no leads because I'm sure there is some evidence," Lindblom said. "Investigators are talking to people in the neighborhood ...we're working on it. It's an open and active case."
Spice 1 is a legend in the Bay Area who stepped on the Hip-Hop scene in the early '90s. He has a discography of more that 15 albums, three of which went gold on Jive Records.
His most recent album, Thug A$$ociation, was released independently and dropped in May. The disc features B-Legit, Roger Troutman and C-Bo.

Pimp C, real name Chad Butler -- and one half of the rap duo UGK, was found dead in a hotel room this morning. He was 33.
L.A. County Fire responded to a 911 call at the Mondrian Hotel, located on trendy Sunset Strip in Hollywood. They arrived to his sixth floor hotel room to find him dead in bed.
UGK is best known for appearing on the Jay-Z track "Big Pimpin'" in 2000, and more recently with Outkast on the song "International Player's Anthem (I Choose You)." Pimp C had just performed with fellow rapper Too Short at the "House of Blues" in L.A. on Saturday night.
