Hamilton rapper lil OT killed in Burlington parking lot shooting
A lot of these “young boys joining the streets” think it’s fun out here, lil OT says to the camera.
“It’s not fun out here.”
He tells viewers he recently lost a “younger bro” and is a different person because of the losses he’s experienced. “I don’t even laugh the same.”
This is from an interview with Omar Niaz Muhammad, also known as the Hamilton rapper lil OT, posted by Six Entertainment on YouTube about six months before he was shot and killed in Burlington Monday.
Over about 40 minutes, the 24-year-old speaks candidly about his life growing up in Hamilton, where as a boy he made money selling chocolates and “hustling” to buy and sell sneakers. In high school, he began writing music and was inspired by other rap artists, and “radio” musicians — he even jokes about singing Adele in the shower. His music was also influenced from being in jail, including a year-and-a-half imprisonment he says delayed his success.
But it is toward the end of the often lighthearted interview, when the interviewer asks Muhammad about the scariest day of his life, that he gets more serious.
“I don’t know. Like close-death experiences, near-death experiences, shootouts, getting shot at,” he said. “I’ve never really been in like a crazy car accident, but a lot of shootouts though.”
On Monday night, Muhammad was gunned down outside in the parking lot of Burlington Centre, near a Kelsey’s restaurant at Guelph Line and Prospect Street in Burlington.
Halton police said they were called to the parking lot at 10:10 p.m. for a man who had been shot. The 24-year-old was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Halton police identified Muhammad as being from Burlington at the time of his death. But Muhammad grew up in Hamilton.
Police are searching for two suspects who fled in a white SUV.
“Investigators believe this was a targeted incident with no known risk to public safety,” police said in a news release.
Muhammad’s family home in Hamilton was previously the target of gunfire. At the home Tuesday, a family member declined comment to The Spectator.
The home on Wickham Avenue — a short street off Beach Boulevard — was struck by bullets at least 52 times around 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 14, 2023 in a drive-by shooting. A least six members of the family were home, including Muhammad, but no one was hurt.
In that case, a dark sedan was captured on surveillance video on the street and by 11:30 p.m. that night, police found a Honda Civic — reported stolen in Toronto — parked at Barton and Queen streets. Two spent nine-millimetre shell casings were recovered at the base of the front windshield, the same type used in the shooting.
More than two years later, Ahmed Issak-Hussan pleaded guilty to discharging a firearm with intent to endanger the life of unknown persons, as well as for possessing a firearm while prohibited. He remains in jail awaiting sentencing.
Court heard Issak-Hussan was once a friend of Muhammad’s and they both were connected to the music industry.
Hamilton police caught Issak-Hussan because he was the target of another investigation — dubbed Project Ohio — that probed the Dec. 21, 2021 murder of 24-year-old Sheydon Storer, who was shot in his driveway.
As part of that project, police were granted approval to run a wiretap and have his phone and vehicle tracked.
On Feb. 27, 2024 — several months after the shooting at Muhammad’s family home — police intercepted a phone call between Issak-Hussan and an unidentified man.
In a transcript of the call, part of which was read out by the Crown on the day Issak-Hussan pleaded guilty, he spoke about “this kid that used to be my dog” and then about them “beefing.”
“Yeah, he was having a party at his crib. His whole family and them were there, I pulled up … then shots at his crib.”
In September 2024, Project Ohio concluded with three men charged, including Issak-Hussan and Kamaldeep Dhaliwal, who are charged with first-degree murder. That case remains before the court.
The victim in that shooting — Storer — was also witness to the November 2021 murder of Ali Ghorbani.
Two men were charged with Ghorbani’s murder, and at their recent trial one of them argued it was Storer who fired one of three guns used. But Storer could not be called to testify because he was killed about a month after Ghorbani. That trial ended with Jagar Hasan being convicted of first-degree murder and a mistrial for co-accused Karzan Kakamad.
Both Ghorbani and Hasan were armed drug dealers, court heard.
It’s not clear if any of these shootings are directly related, but the web of connections between the players is common in homicides and shootings where many suspects and victims know each other because they are involved in the same life. It also shows the high-risk lifestyle of those involved in drug trafficking and gangs.
When asked about being from Hamilton during the July 2025 interview, Muhammad described it as a “crabs in the bucket” city where every time someone gets out, they try to drag you back.
“A lot of drugs,” he said.
His name lil OT began when he was “younger in the hood.” One of the “homies” he played ball with was called Big O, so Muhammad became lil O (his first name is Omar) and over time the ‘T’ was added. He also has a nickname — the Wild Child.
When Muhammad is asked on video whether he has a message for his haters, he replies that he doesn’t know.
“They’re watching me, I’m watching them,” he says.
But he did have a message for fans — especially the ones who stuck with him — that he had a lot of music coming out.
Lil OT has a significant following online, including more than 27,000 on Instagram and 10,000 on the music streaming service Spotify.
According to his Spotify profile, his debut mixtape “JamesVille” had over 10 million streams, followed by his second project, “Written in Stone,” that was released last fall. It also lists an upcoming 14-song album, “Invisible Scars.”
A billboard for “Written in Stone” stands at the corner of Bay and Burlington streets.
The final interview question: what makes Muhammad happy?
“Peace and quiet,” he said. “Home all day by myself, alone.”
