Seagram Miller was a rapper who went by his first name. He started his career in 1989 but debuted in 1992. He was a member of the gang 69th Village Mob. In 1993 he would record a song about a rival gang and it angered an Oakland kingpin. On June 29th the said gang would target him with a hit. The gunmen however failed to kill him.
Over 3 years later on July 31, 1996, 26-year-old Seagram and a friend were at a San Leandro, California Mall. Seagram would tell his friend that he wanted to go to Oakland. The friend agreed to go and claimed to not know why Seagram wanted to.
Around 7:15 pm Miller and a friend went to the 1900 block of 24th Ave in Oakland, California. When they got out of the van they were fired upon. Both men would be hit by bullets and go to the hospital. However, Seagram would pass away an hour later at 8:15 pm.
It's unknown if the gang he previously had a conflict with was involved in his murder. It's not stated if either men were intended targets or just in the wrong place at the wrong time. This area was known to be dangerous because of violence and drug trafficking.
