Ricardo Hollins, a 40-year-old male known in the New Orleans rap community as Double Crossa, was fatally shot on November 30, 2016. The incident occurred in the parking lot of a clothing store near Canal Street in the Mid-City area of New Orleans. Hollins was struck by multiple gunshots and was pronounced dead at University Hospital. His death was one of four separate shootings that took place within a two-hour span in the city on that day.
Beyond his music career, where he was
associated with Soulja Slim's Cut Throat Comitty Records, Hollins was also a published author and had established his own publishing company, RHPublishing. He had penned approximately 30 books. He was a father to two daughters and one son, and a grandfather to one granddaughter.
As of late 2025, publicly available information does not include details of any arrests or named suspects in connection with the murder of Ricardo Hollins. The case remains a stark reminder of the gun violence that affects the city of New Orleans.
