Up And Coming Rapper Killed Inside Atlanta Studio 

A former protege of deceased Atlanta rap artist, Bankroll Fresh, was also killed in an Atlanta studio shootout this past week.

His family said the up-and-coming artist, whose real name was Jerome Blake, was in the wrong place and was not a specific target when men with guns came into Headquarters Studio and began shooting. 

Brother Dontavous of Jerome Blake said witnesses told him it was a robbery. He said Jerome came out of a booth and explained he had nothing of value on him. 

Some witnesses have given a different explanation, saying an argument instigated the shooting.

The family described Jerome as loving, and a musician who did not pack a pistol. They said he was on his way to “making it” with a rap video and a few appearances at area clubs.

According to WSBTV News (Atlanta) Blake was the childhood friends with beloved Atlanta rapper, Bankroll Fresh, who was also killed following a confrontation outside of an Atlanta area studio. 

Devastated friends and family of the aspiring young rapper held a vigil for Blake in Atlanta honoring his life. He was 28 years old. 

Female Mexican Police Officer Fired For Topless Squad Car Selfie 

Female police officer, Nidia Garcia, was suspended from her job after someone in El Chapo’s camp supposedly leaked a topless selfie picture taken from inside her patrol car. 

The reaction in Mexico is somewhat divided on Garcia’s situation. Some are laughing, while others are outraged at her inappropriate actions.

  

After the story broke, Nidia took to Facebook to make this statement. She wrote: 

“I want to ask a huge apology to the secretary of security and Justice of proximity and more to my municipality general Escobedo for this immoral act on my part. I feel disgusted by the great damage caused and the damage done mainly to my two daughters, followed by my husband, my parents, brothers and entire family.”

The vivacious officer is under pending investigation and is unlikely to be allowed to rejoin the force, presumably because of the likelihood that she may have ties to organized crime. 

Mom Charged After Telling Teen Son Who Was Shot ‘Just Go To Bed’

  
A Florida mom is facing felony charges after she initially refused to take her 13-year-old son to the hospital after he was shot at a street party.

Latasha Staley said she didn’t want to get law enforcement involved when her son came to her about 5 a.m. suffering from a gunshot wound. She supposedly told the teen, “It looks like a graze; Just go to bed,” according to the police report.

Staley was arrested two days later at the Wendy’s restaurant where she works. She was charged with felony child neglect and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The mother was previously tasked with supervising the teen, who was on probation for his involvement in an August shooting, auto theft and assault with a deadly weapon.

Christina Brown, a neighbor who heard about the street party shooting from her nephew, said:

“They want to party, they want to have fun and hang out, but where do you draw the line?”
