The identity of the second man was released and despite initial reports, a police source told AllHipHop.com that the second man, an unnamed 35-year-old, remained in hospitalized in critical condition.

The second man shot may have been fellow D-12 group member Bizarre, but police have not released the victims identity as of press time.

The group, which features members Eminem, Kon Artis, Proof, Swift , Bizarre and Kuniva, released their debut album Devil's Night in 2001. The group followed with D12 World in 2004, which produced the hit single "My Band."

Proof followed with a solo album titled Searching for Jerry Garcia in 2005, released on his own label, Iron Fist Recordings.

Proof was an influential figure on the Detroit rap scene, hosting legendary battles at the Hip Hop Shop.

In the movie 8 Mile, Mekhi Phifer was chosen to embody Proof as the character "Lil Tic."

D12 rapper Proof shot to death in Detroit
DETROIT, April 11 (UPI) -- Eminem's right hand man and D12 rapper Proof was shot to death Tuesday morning at a club along Detroit's 8 Mile. He was 32.

The freestyle MC born Deshaun Holton was dead on arrival at a Detroit hospital, the Detroit Free Press said.

Proof and Eminem were longtime friends and toured together with Proof acting as Eminem's on-stage "hype man," the Free Press said. He was best man at Eminem's January wedding and had a bit part in the film "8 Mile."

Another man shot around 5 a.m. at the club, 3C, was reported in critical condition at St. John Hospital in Detroit.

The club was legal, but open illegally after hours, the Free Press said.

Rapper Obie Trice, another close friend of Eminem, was shot and wounded on New Year's Eve.
