Slim 400’s Killer Receives Lengthy Prison Sentence

Michael Terry, the 35-year-old man convicted in the death of Slim 400, will officially spend the next 32 years in a California state prison after receiving his sentencing on Tuesday. Judge Altus Hudsonto announced the sentencing after Terry pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the case. Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón later released a statement to the family of Slim 400. In the message, he reflected on the tragedy of gun violence in the community.

“Our hearts go out to the families of Mr. Cohran, an artist in the Los Angeles community who was taken far too soon by a tragic act of gun violence,” Gascón wrote. “Our Community Violence Reduction Unit vigorously prosecutes gun violence to protect our communities. Gun violence has no place in our society, and we will continue to work closely with communities we serve to help prevent these senseless crimes.”

In addition to Terry, his co-defendant, Tamra Lynn Bell, pleaded guilty to felony accessory after the fact and is scheduled to be sentenced in January of next year. Slim was shot and killed in December of 2021 in Inglewood after getting into a heated argument with Terry outside of his home on Manchester Boulevard. He was found wounded on the ground and transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. He was just 33 years old. Police eventually arrested both Terry and Bell six months later.

Slim was best known for his work with YG, with whom he collaborated on multiple songs. Over the course of his career, he dropped a total of seven studio albums. Be on the lookout for further updates on Slim 400 on HotNewHipHop.
