In a key break into the 2001 slaying of Queens rapper E-Money Bags, murder charges have been filed against Dennis Crosby and Nicole Brown -- affiliates of reputed Murder Inc. cohort Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff.
On July 16, 2001, Eric "E-Money Bags" Smith was shot 10 times in his Lincoln Navigator in Queens Village. E-Money Bags' murder is said to be a revenge killing to the murder of Colbert Johnson, Supreme's right hand man.
In August 2001, Feds raided one of McGriff's stash houses. Aside from finding $30,000 in cash, cocaine and heroin, they also found a videotape containing surveillance footage of E-Money Bags from July 13th to the final 20 minutes before his execution. Nicole Brown, girlfriend to Crosby, confessed that the videotape was filmed from her home.
TheSmokingGun.com has obtained the search warrant affidavit detailing an FBI/NYPD investigation of three murders allegedly ordered by McGriff, the drug kingpin linked to the rap label Murder, Inc. Carolyn Pokorny, Assistant U.S. Attorney, said Crosby and Brown could face the death penalty if convicted of the 2001 shooting.

After two days at large, Young Buck is now ready to turn himself in to the Santa Monica Police Department in connection with the alleged Vibe Awards stabbing. His mom is rising to his defense calling him a "good boy."
According to Buck's lawyers, the rapper is set to surrender in the near future and is expecting to be released on bail. Buck's lawyers also made it clear that the rapper was not running from anyone and they contacted the Santa Monica authorities immediately after learning of their client's arrest warrant. On the flip side, the Santa Monica police lieutenant said he had no clue when Buck will turn himself in.
Audrey Horn, Young Buck's mother, feels that her son is the victim in all this.
"...he's been treated like a real live criminal when the man who attacked Dr. Dre is being treated like a victim," Buck's mother told The Associated Press.
Ironically, Buck's police rap sheet reads like a to-do list of offenses including drug possession, domestic assault and reckless driving.
