DETROIT, April 11 (AP) — Proof, a member of the rap group D12 and a close friend of Eminem, was shot to death early Tuesday at a nightclub along Eight Mile Road here, a publicist for his record label said.
"Memorial service arrangements are still being made, and his friends and family would appreciate privacy during this difficult time," Dennis Dennehy, a publicist for Interscope Records, said in a statement.
Proof, 32, whose real name was Deshaun Holton, was the best man at Eminem's wedding in January and often appeared alongside him at concerts and public appearances. He also appeared in the film "8 Mile."
An argument at the nightclub led to gunshots, said a Detroit police spokesman, James Tate.
Wende Berry, a spokeswoman for St. John Health System, said Proof was dead on arrival at St. John Conner Creek, an outpatient treatment site. She confirmed that he had a gunshot wound.
