On September 20, 2004, Blade Icewood was shot in his own house in Oak Park, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. He was hit with seven bullets from an AK-47 assault rifle, after gunmen broke into his house. After the shooting, an officer stated that Icewood refused to assist investigators. He was paralyzed from the chest down and used a wheelchair. Two days prior to his own shooting, another shooting happened outside of Candy Bar, a Woodward Avenue nightclub, that left Wipeout, a rival Eastside Detroit rapper, dead. Many speculated the shootings were related. A diss song called ”Ride On Me” suggests that Icewood knew the assailants.
