Tampa Bay rapper Ace NH lured two men into his backyard studio and then executed them, according to law enforcement.

Ace [Bennett Adams III] was arrested earlier this week for two counts of premeditated murder after shooting his two victims execution-style in a backyard shed/studio near an off-campus student community for the University of South Florida.

Police arrived minutes after the gunfire, but Ace had already fled in a car.   Ace has openly flaunted his Crip affiliation and the police believe the murders to be gang-related.

“This was a violent execution this suspect performed, and although the attack was clearly targeted, we will not allow gang-related disputes to disrupt the comfort and safety of innocent residents in any of our communities,” Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said in a statement.
