Cam'ron and The Diplomats were involved in a highway shooting in Boston early this morning while on the way to their next tour stop to promote their upcoming album Diplomatic Immunity. State police have confirmed that the gunfire came from the tourbus and was aimed at drivers in vehicles headed south on Route 128 at about 2:45am.
According to Lt. Paul Maloney, spokeman for the Mass. State Police, the tour bus, as well as an accompanying 2003 Ford Excursion, were traveling south towards I-95, when both vehicles were stopped by State Police. Two passengers along with three handgun were found in the Ford Excursion. Both passengers were arrested and charged with handgun violations.
The victum was able to identify the shooter, who was a passenger on the bus, as well as another individual who provided the weapon. These two people were also arrested and charged with assault, intent to murder and firearm violations.
No motive has been revealed for the shooting however, Lt. Maloney makes it clear "...as best we know the shots were fired from the bus at the car..." as he wanted to clear up false reports that the car was shooting at the bus. He identifed the individuals arrested as identified as Orland Young (Bronx, NY), Puri Pegue (Richmond, VA), Keith Blacknail (New York City, NY) and Monique Garnett (Sharon Hills, PA). None of these names match the members of The Diplomats which consist of Jimmy Jones (Joseph Jones), Julez Santana (LaRon James) and Freaky Zekey.
Cam'ron was on the bus but was not charged.
