“HE SPOKEN WITH HIS FAMILY JUST HOURS BEFORE” — The Heartbreaking Normalcy Before ZeeTheWizard’s Tragic Shooting
The viral claim that ZeeTheWizard (real name Zec’Qurie Cannon Grant Fields) had spoken with his family just hours before the New Year’s Eve incident, with “no signs of anxiety” and only normal plans for the future, aligns with the tragic pattern seen in many sudden losses. However, no credible reports or family statements confirm a specific “last message” that dramatically “changed everything” in the hours leading up to the shooting. Instead, the details paint a picture of an ordinary evening that ended in unimaginable tragedy.
On December 31, 2025, ZeeTheWizard performed at the grand opening of Pink House Dallas (an after-hours nightclub/strip club near Empire Central and I-35), bringing energy to the crowd, including some family members who attended. After his set, his relatives left the venue, while he stayed to continue celebrating the holiday. Family members later told reporters they received calls about the shooting shortly after and rushed back to the scene, which had become a crime scene.
There are no documented accounts of a final phone call, text, or conversation in the immediate hours before the altercation around 3:45 a.m. on January 1, 2026, where gunfire erupted in the parking lot, injuring five people—including ZeeTheWizard, who was shot multiple times and rushed to a North Texas hospital in critical condition. He fought for days on life support, surrounded by loved ones, before passing on January 5, 2026.
In the lead-up to the incident, ZeeTheWizard was active online, sharing music clips and positive vibes with fans. His last known public post, shared five days earlier, was a video of his music captioned: “See This Shit Here Real Life A True Story I Never Wrote It.” Friends and collaborators, including those from his recent signing to FreeBandz (Future’s label), described recent conversations focused on upcoming music rollouts—full of excitement and plans, with no indication of trouble.
The family’s grief has been profound and public. At the candlelight vigil on January 11 at IBOC church in Dallas’s Red Bird neighborhood, supporters wore black and blue, released balloons, and shared tributes emphasizing his light, generosity, and community impact. His sister ZeBoria Cannon called him “a light” who encouraged positivity and hope. His mother, LaShannon Grant, spoke of the difficulty of the past days, urging the legacy to live on.
These emotional gatherings captured the community’s mourning.
ZeeTheWizard’s vibrant performances and personality live on in memories.
The absence of any ominous signs in his final interactions underscores the suddenness of the loss—normal plans shattered by violence. As the Dallas Police Department continues its investigation (reviewing surveillance, witness statements, and leads with no arrests announced), the family seeks justice while preserving his memory through music and tributes.
Rest in peace, ZeeTheWizard—your story, talent, and heart continue to inspire.
