bigted Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Here's some more details: Police Seek To Question Tony Yayo & Others In Busta Video Shooting By Nolan Strong Date: 2/6/2006 10:19 am Police are seeking to question G-Unit rapper Tony Yayo in connection with a shooting on a Busta Rhymes video set that left one man dead with a gunshot wound to the back. While he is not an official suspect, police are seeking to question Yayo about a heated argument that took place on the set of the video, which was being filmed on location in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, New York. Israel Ramirez, 29, was gunned down shortly after midnight on Sunday (Feb. 5), about a half-hour after a group of men were ordered to leave the building after an argument on the set. He was rushed to Woodhull Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 1:10 a.m. Ramirez was in charge of guarding Busta Rhymes' cache of jewelry, which was being used in the video. Police are investigating what rappers' entourages were present and if any of the men were connected to the shooting. Rhymes was shooting a video for his latest single "Touch It (Remix)". The video's cameo appearance list included G-Unit members 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks, DMX, Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliott and other high profile celebrities. Yayo and Rhymes are labelmates on Interscope Records, home to Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment and 50 Cent's G-Unit Records imprint. Contradicting earlier reports, Rhymes, Ramirez and others were in front the studio when shots were fired, sending people running for their lives. The make of the gun used in the shooting has not been confirmed: reports have cited the shots came from an AK47, while others have identified the weapon as a 9mm or a .45. Eight spent shells were also recovered. Police are scanning video footage to see of the murdered has been captured on tape but have yet to find a suspect or a motive in the shooting. According to the New York Post, police are having difficulties contacting Busta Rhymes and at least 50 other people that believe were at the scene of the shooting. Submit News!
