Washington or EGYPXN pre-scheduled the release of his “Be Free” music video for the day of the shootings. Law enforcement launched a city-wide manhunt for the 26-year-old rapper. On Mar. 30, cops tracked him down to Rutherford County, North Carolina, and Washington was killed in a standoff. A deputy was taken to hospital, reportedly shot during an exchange of gunfire. Notably, Washington shared his “last request” on Instagram the day he died. “My last request from humanity is that you seriously evaluate the care you have for each other. If this species is to ever evolve you must stop eating animals, stop warring with each other and take care of mother earth,” he penned in the caption. “Overthrow this sadistic government and rebuild. On a fresh foundation. It’s time for me to rest now..”
Going by his Instagram profile, the rapper enjoyed a moderate following. On the photo and video sharing social media app he has 21.2K followers and he called himself an entrepreneur. Apart from this his bio says, 'the price of freedom is everything'.

After being on the run for two days, EGYPXN was fatally shot in North Carolina on March 30 after confronting the police in a standoff. Although the alleged suspect is dead, police are still investigating the incident.
