Broken glass allegedly connected to the Tesla where BloodHound Q50 was fatally shot has now become a morbid online collectible, with two eBay listings asking thousands of dollars for pieces sellers claim came from the scene.
As of September 17, two listings advertised as BloodHound Q50 glass are being offered for dramatically different prices. One seller is asking $2,000, while another has priced a piece at $5,000. The listings surfaced only days after the 22-year-old Chicago rapper, whose real name was Mikquale T. Cooper, was killed in a shooting at a South Side gas station.
The authenticity of the pieces has not been independently verified. There is no publicly documented chain of custody establishing that either piece actually came from Cooper’s Tesla or even from the shooting scene. That distinction matters because images and videos of people collecting debris from the area began circulating online shortly after the killing, including a viral post showing someone claiming to pick up glass from the crime scene.
The BloodHound Q50 glass listings also appear to raise questions under eBay’s violence and violent criminals policy. The company says listings that relate to violent crimes or crime scenes from within the past 100 years are not allowed. eBay says it may remove listings or restrict accounts when content violates that policy. It remains unclear whether the company has reviewed the two listings connected to Q50.
The unusual listings come after Cooper was killed during a September 13 ambush that left his white Tesla riddled with gunfire.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Cooper arrived at a BP gas station at 4248 South Wentworth Avenue in Chicago’s Fuller Park neighborhood at about 4 a.m. A preliminary Chicago police report said a black Infiniti carrying two masked people pulled alongside the Tesla before a Honda Accord containing additional masked occupants arrived nearby.
Cooper and a female passenger entered the gas station, according to the report. When Cooper later returned to the Tesla and got behind the wheel, six assailants allegedly approached from the two vehicles and opened fire.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Cooper was struck in the chest and shoulder before being transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center. He was pronounced dead roughly half an hour after the attack. A witness told the newspaper that the gunfire sounded like more than 100 shots, although authorities have not publicly confirmed that number.
Cooper’s official cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds, and his death was ruled a homicide.
The violence also caused extensive damage around the gas station. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, bullets damaged Cooper’s Tesla as well as windows at a nearby Subway restaurant. Photos from the scene showed numerous evidence markers surrounding the area.
No arrests had been announced as of September 17. FOX 32 Chicago reported that Chicago police were continuing to investigate the homicide, while authorities had not publicly announced a motive.
The BloodHound Q50 glass listings are arriving as interest in the rapper has surged following his death, but Cooper was already building significant momentum in Chicago drill before the shooting.
His 2025 project, “Long Live My Brudda He Prolly Kilt Yo Brudda,” is a 14-track release issued through Signal Records under an exclusive license from Grade A Productions. The project helped broaden his audience beyond Chicago, while songs and collaborations continued generating millions of views and streams.
Q50 later worked with artists including VonOff1700 and EST Gee and released “Get Back or Die Trying” in 2026. He performed at Rolling Loud in May and released “Get Back or Die Trying” in August, just weeks before his death.
His rise came after repeated losses within his circle. The Chicago Sun-Times reported that his cousin Bloodhound Zmoney was killed in 2023, while rappers Bloodhound Lil Jeff and Lil Scoom89, both associates of Cooper, were killed during the summer of 2024. Cooper said those deaths played a role in how seriously he began approaching music.
Cooper had also publicly acknowledged the dangers surrounding his life. In an interview quoted by the Chicago Sun-Times shortly before his death, he said, “I’m not chasing death, but … I’m not running from it either.”
Now, days after his killing, the aftermath itself is being turned into merchandise. Whether anyone pays $2,000 or $5,000 for the alleged BloodHound Q50 glass remains to be seen, but the listings show how quickly tragedy, internet culture, and the market for hip hop memorabilia can collide.
