bigted Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Rapper Fabolous Shot in NYC Parking Garage By SAMANTHA GROSS Associated Press Writer NEW YORK - Rapper Fabolous was shot early Tuesday as he stood at a Manhattan parking garage, spurring a sequence of events that left him both hospitalized in stable condition and under arrest, police said. The rapper, whose legal name is John Jackson, was shot once in the thigh when a male with a gun approached him and three others and opened fire, police spokesman Sgt. Mike Wysokowski said. The four jumped into a vehicle and fled, attracting the attention of police. Officers stopped them and discovered two guns in the vehicle, both of which were apparently unlicensed, Wysokowski said. All four men were arrested, and charges were pending. The rapper was taken to a hospital. Police were searching for the shooter. The Brooklyn native's hits have included, "Breathe" and "Can't Deny It," and his songs cover topics ranging from romance to street life and violence. He recently took part in the taping of the VH1 Hip Hop Honors, which were to air Tuesday evening. An e-mail seeking comment from a representative at Def Jam Recordings was not immediately returned early Tuesday. The label is producing the rapper's upcoming solo album, due out in December, according to Fabolous' Web page on MySpace.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damian Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I don't read articles like this one, but I'm a litle bit shocked.... cause Fabolous wasn't gangsta man or something, right? I mean, he was rather too soft for that type of acting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Update: Cops Target Fabolous In NBA Robbery Wednesday - October 18, 2006 by Dick Johnson Investigators are looking into a connection between the shooting of Fabolous and an NBA player having his chain robbed minutes before the incident, police said. Reports have surfaced that Sebastian Telfair, a point guard for the Boston Celtics, was stripped of his $64,000 chain minutes before Fab was shot in front of Sean "Diddy" Combs' Justin's Restaurant in New York City (October 17). Initial reports had Fab being shot in the leg following an altercation in front of the restaurant. Detectives apparently learned of the robbery while probing Fab's shooting. A dozen men, including the Brooklyn rapper, were brought into the 13th precinct for lineups. Ed Hayes, Telfair's attorney, told ABC's Eyewitness News that his client was "being cooperative." Telfair, the cousin of New York Knicks guard Stephon Marbury, first gained national prominence as a high school hoop star in Brooklyn, NY. "He's a witness and nobody suspects him of anything," Hayes told Eyewitness. "He's a lovely young man." Fab is set to be arraigned on weapon charges in Lower Manhattan, NY today. According to investigators, Rascharm Davis, 29, Percell German, 23 and Kevin Bass, 18, are also scheduled to appear in court today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
