According to a nearby couple, rapid gunfire went off and sounded louder than just a regular handgun.

“It was rapid fire, 9 or 10 shots, rapid fire, rapid succession,” said George Maznicki, “it was loud enough, not a hand gun, it was a rifle.” “I jumped out of bed and ran out and George was in the kitchen and I said did you hear that and he said ‘Yeah, that sounded like a machine gun or something’,” said Carol Touchstone.

Another key witness confirmed Ross and his passenger were chased, which likely led to the crash.

Beth Balk, who lives in apartment that car ran into, heard it slam through the fence. “Apparently someone was chasing them,” said Balk. “It was like a giant kaboom. It rocked me off the bed and I went to the front door.” “In the life of hip hop you never know,” said 99 JAMZ DJ Lorenzo “Ice Tea” Thomas. “There’s violence every day, so you never know what happens. We’ll just have to wait and see as the details develop.” (CBS Local)

January 29, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff Interviews No Comments  

In their conversation, Ice speaks openly on all things Ice — including selling 160 million records, the key to success according to his experiences, and what really happened with Suge Knight. Did he really get hung over a balcony?

“The truth is he was nice.” Admits Ice. “The story seems a little bit better, a little bit more interesting, and got better ratings when you have Vanilla Ice hanging upside down and you see his change coming from his pockets. The truth is, he took that money, but I look at it in a positive way because I’ve made great investments.”

Before talking about dating Madonna, he went on to discuss his indirect involvement with Death Row Records.

“That money went on to start Deathrow Records.” Claims Ice. “That money funded some of the greatest hip hop records of all time. ‘The Chronic’ record, funded by Vanilla Ice.”

SMH. From WJLA:

The murder of Siohban Lee came as a shock to her Prince George’s County family. The recent high school graduate was found Jan. 25 near the intersection of 5th and Nicholson streets NW with a gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators released new details in her death Monday that point to a website, where some people log-in searching for sex.

Lee lived in Takoma Park and worked two jobs in downtown Silver Spring; no one could figure out how she ended up in Northwest D.C. just before 3:30 a.m. Investigators believe she was visiting someone she met through a social media site.

Court records reveal the 18-yearold told a friend several days before she was planning to meet with a man she met on Facebook.

Investigators didn’t have a name, but they knew her iPhone was missing. They tracked the phone to an apartment building on Kennedy Street, where they found and questioned 21-year-old Alexander Buckley. Eventually, he directed police to the bedroom closet and retrieved an iPhone from a shoe. They also found a 9-mm handgun in the apartment.

According to court documents, Buckley changed his story several times, but he finally told investigators he connected with Lee via a social media app called “Tagged.” He told them he wanted to meet up with her to have sex. He did not admit shooting her, but he is charged in her murder.

Buckley of Northwest is facing a first degree murder charge. He will next appear in court Feb. 8.

Presenting….a very loose translation courtesy of Google Translate:

On the occasion of his promo tour in Europe, we met Ciara who had proudly present his new album One Woman Army will soon be available.

Before we meet for a casual interview, Cee-Cee was discovering the album exclusively to a few players in the French press. A more personal album than the previous ones, on which she co-produced some tracks and collaborated with Jermain Dupri, Tricky Stewart, Hit-Boy and the production team The Underdogs, among others. Some songs she wrote herself, but she wanted to clarify that it had received assistance from Ali Tamposi Livvi Frank and who participated in the album Unapologetic Rihanna.

Ciara talks about her new baby so she called One Woman Army to symbolize strength and character elements that inspired this project and collaborations on his album.

We thank Sony Music France without whom this interview would not have been possible and invite you to discover the album One Woman Army on its release in April.
