SF Basketball Star Arrested For Murder Of Rapper Lil Phat
According to AllHipHop:
Decensae White was the leading scorer on San Francisco State University’s basketball team, the former roommate of NFL player Michael Crabtree at Texas Tech University, and the star of a viral video that eventually made it’s way onto SportsCenter. The 25-year-old Pacifica, California native is now a murder suspect as well.
NBC Bay Area is reporting that White has been extradited from San Mateo County to Fulton County, Georgia to face charges related to the murder of rapper Lil Phat (real name Melvin Vernell III).
Phat was killed in Sandy Springs, Georgia on June 7, 2012. Fulton County District Attorney Paul Houston called Phat’s killing “an assassination.”
White is one of five individuals who have been indicted on various charges including felony murder, aggravated assault, criminal participation in gang activity, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. One of the other suspects is an alleged member of the Russian mafia named Mani Chulayev.

According to Fulton County officials, White, Chulayev, DeAndre Washington, Gary Bradford, and Maurice Conner hired hit men to kill Phat over drug related issues.
White is believed to have moved to Georgia in 2009. He apparently was seeking to start a rap career in Atlanta.
White later returned to the Bay Area and enrolled at SFSU where he started on the school’s basketball team for the entire 2012-2013 season. He also briefly attended Texas Tech and Santa Clara University.
“We are in total shock right now,” said Decensae’s father David White. “He is the most non-violent person I’ve ever known in my life. This is beyond anyone’s comprehension.”
White was booked on May 17 and will appear in a Fulton County court on May 31.

According to HipHopDX:
When D’aja Robinson’s life was taken the community fueled outrage. The 14-year-old Queens native was on her way home from a sweet sixteen party when a gunman shot nine .40-caliber bullets into the side of a city bus. Robinson was rushed to a nearby hospital but never made it due to injuries sustained.
D’aja Robinson’s funeral took place on Friday and fellow Queens native Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson gave support to the victim’s family.
50 payed for Friday’s funeral and released the statement below on Facebook regarding it.
“People always try and paint negative images about me I’m the most genuine down to earth person and I didn’t forget where I came from I came through for baby girl by providing a horse and carriage for her. She was pretty, innocent and didnt deserve to die like that R.I.P D’Asia Robinson.”
An estimated 2,500 mourners, including hundreds of teenagers, came out in support of Robinson and her family.
