Busta's Video Shoot Argument Recorded
Friday, February 24, 2006 By: Kenny Rodriguez
The argument that sparked the fatal shooting of Busta Rhymes’ bodyguard was captured on a secret audio recording, according to the New York Daily News, including snippets of the suspected killer calling Rhymes a “Bitch.”
The recording could prove to be an important piece of evidence for cops as they search for the man who shot and killed Israel Ramirez on Feb. 5 at a video shoot in Brooklyn, NY. On the 53-minute audio recording, which is being offered to media outlets with a price tag of $50,000, Busta Rhymes appears to play mediator during an argument that breaks out amid the taping of the video for his song “Touch It (Remix).”
A source familiar with the recording believes the fight erupted when certain members of G-Unit’s entourage were excluded from an onstage lineup of hip-hop greats at the Brooklyn studio, and G-Unit member Tony Yayo appears to be a central figure in the scuffle leading up to the shooting. Because the argument moved outside the studio, the gunshots that killed Ramirez cannot be heard on the recording, the source said. No one has yet submitted the recording to the police.
“I hope the person who has this tape or video would cooperate with authorities, especially if it provides evidence in this case,” said Jerry Schmetterer, spokesman for the Brooklyn district attorney. “It’s totally irresponsible of this person to withhold what could be a vital piece of evidence in an active homicide investigation,” said a NYPD spokesman said yesterday.
No one has yet been charged with the slaying of Ramirez, 29. Busta Rhymes and other witnesses to the shooting have refused to speak to police.
