One day after making an appearance in Dorchester, one of the members of hip-hop group Cali Swag District was killed in a drive-by shooting in Inglewood, Calif.

The 22-year-old Montae Talbert, also known as M-Bone, was the main dancer in the group. He died Sunday night. The four group members were in Dorchester on Friday and Saturday for a scheduled appearance at the Chez Vous skating rink.

The group’s popular ‘Teach Me How to Dougie’ song brought back the famous dance of rap legend Doug E. Fresh — everyone from first lady Michelle Obama to Justin Beiber have danced to the song. As NPR reports, the dance craze has been viewed over 50 million times on YouTube.
