Chicago rapper Common just missed a fatal shooting in Brooklyn, New York on Monday (October 27), that left one man dead and four others injured.

According to a report from AllHipHop.com, the rapper had received a hair cut just hours before the murder, a place he is a regularly frequents when in need of a cut.

During Monday afternoon, two gunmen reportedly opened fire on a 19-year-old male near the intersection of 704 Fulton Street and South Oxford Street in the Fort Greene section of Brooklyn.

The man fled into a nearby hair salon, was cornered and killed by the suspects. In a barrage of nearly 30 shots, four innocent bystanders in the shop were hit including an off duty police officer.

After the shooting, the suspects fled in a blue Chevrolet Tahoe.

If Common were to have been there just a few hours later, he would have witnessed the incident.

At press time, the suspects were still at large.
