Rapper KillingAllBeatz can say goodbye to his career since he has been charged with murder of 3 people in the SXSW drunk driving massacre!

Last Thursday a car when plowing through a crowd of people outside one of the clubs in Austin Texas during the SXSW festival. Now CelebNMusic247.com has got the details on the man behind the wheel, who ended up being a rapper named KillingAllBeatz, born Rashad Charjuan Owens, who should NOT have been driving drunk.

Here is what ABC is reporting:

A third person died Monday morning after being hit by a drunk driver outside a nightclub at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.

The driver plowed into the crowd of people last Thursday.

The latest victim, a 26-year-old Austin college student was with a group of friends when the driver drove through a barricade as he ran from police.

Two other people died and 22 others were injured.

Rashad Charjuan Owens had been in Austin to perform at an East Austin venue before police say he plowed through a crowd of South by Southwest festival-goers early Thursday morning downtown.

The Statesman reports:

His brother, Lamar Wilson, told the American-Statesman that he last saw Owens on Wednesday evening before his show at Club 1808 near 12th and Chicon streets. Owens, whose stage name is KillingAllBeatz or K.A.B254, was the father of six young children, one of whom lives in Alaska, Wilson said.

His brother had been studying music production at an online university and had borrowed the car he was in from a friend named Andrew Bramwell, Wilson said

Christopher Haug, chief of media relations for Fort Hood, told the American-Statesman that Bramwell was a soldier at the Killeen military base and had reported his car stolen Thursday morning. Haug said Owens was not a Fort Hood solider.

Wilson said he was shocked by news of collision. “He’s a real good dude, he was in college and making music, and was trying to live regular,” the brother said.

Austin police have said that capital murder charges will be filed against the 21-year-old suspected drunken driver, who they say plowed through a crowd of South by Southwest festival-goers early Thursday morning in downtown Austin, killing at least two people.

Police Chief Art Acevedo said the man will face two charges of capital murder and 23 counts of aggravated assault. Police officials confirmed the identity of the suspect to the American-Statesman just before noon Thursday.

A search of public records shows Owens had several misdemeanor arrests out of the Fairbanks Fourth District in Alaska, including being charged with minor under the influence and criminal trespass. In October 2011, he was charged with driving under the influence, leaving the scene of an accident and a petition to revoke probation, the Fairbanks records show.
