According to Norton Shores police, Hall was at a studio when he got into an argument with another man. Hall was then shot.<\/p>\n<p>Nelson said the argument was over a music beat.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey tried 30 minutes to resuscitate him. They couldn\u2019t get him back,\u201d Nelson said.<\/p>\n<p>Police later arrested a 26-year-old suspect in connection with the shooting. Police have not yet released the suspect&#8217;s name, and charges had not yet been filed at the time of reporting.<\/p>\n<p>Hall&#8217;s goal was to become one of the biggest R&amp;B artists in the world. Those who knew him say his work is far from finished.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe got a hundred more songs,\u201d Nelson said.<\/p>\n<p>The two said they plan to continue sharing Hall&#8217;s music and helping carry out the dream he was working toward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hall was making a name for himself in Dallas, including with his song \u201cOMW,\u201d which had more than&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":439683,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103],"class_list":["post-439682","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439682","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=439682"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439682\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/439683"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=439682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=439682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=439682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
