Wade Treáshaun Hamilton was 28 when he was found dead inside his home in Shelby, North Carolina, on May 6, 2017. Reports identify him as an aspiring rapper who performed as Trea-8 and note he was a native of Cleveland County and the son of Wade E. Hamilton Jr. of Texas and Tammy Poston of Shelby. He left behind a fiancée, Tiehrra Bolick, children Shyne, Prince, Zamiyah, and an unborn son, Supreme Hamilton.

The Shelby Police Department determined Wade had been shot and classified the death as a homicide.
