Remy Ma
Despite reports circulating that Bronx rapper Remy Ma shot a female acquaintance early this morning after a verbal feud turned ugly, police at this time tell SOHH.com they "haven't named any suspect."
According to AP reports, a 27-year-old woman is accused of firing one bullet into the abdomen of a 23-year-old woman after the two left Manhattan's Pizza Bar (48 9th Avenue) as part of a larger group.
Police say both women were part of a three car caravan that left the Meatpacking District nightspot shortly before 4 a.m. The two had argued earlier in the evening at the bar and continued to exchange words after leaving, but the argument turned violent about a block away, when a gun was fired.
Investigators were able to speak with multiple witnesses of the incident, however the shooter fled the scene and has not been apprehended.
Police are currently seeking the 27-year-old suspect, rumored to be female rapper Remy Ma (whose real name is Remy Smith), however they would not confirm that Smith is a suspect.
"We are not releasing any information like that yet," police officials told SOHH, adding, "We haven't named any suspect."
Law officials have not released the name of the wounded 23-year-old -- who was shot in the lower torso, although officials confirmed the shooting to SOHH and said the victim is currently in stable condition at St. Vincent's Hospital.
I ain't heard nothin' about that....
The 26-year-old rapper, whose real name is Remy Smith, had been sought for questioning in the shooting of a 23-year-old woman early Saturday after a verbal dispute near a bar in the Meatpacking District. She reported to police Saturday evening and was also arrested on charges of assault and criminal possession of a weapon, police said.
The rapper's manager said Saturday that she could not talk and referred calls to Remy Ma's attorney, who was with the rapper as she reported to police.
"I ask everyone to keep an open mind," attorney Scott Leemon said. "Things are not always as they seem."
He said an arraignment would likely be held on Sunday.
An emergency call reporting gunfire led police to a woman with a gunshot wound. Three blocks away, officers discovered a luxury sport utility vehicle owned by Remy Ma; the vehicle had been involved in a single-car crash and abandoned, police said.
The victim, Makeda Barnes-Joseph, was in stable condition at a hospital.
Sasha Tcherekoff, owner of the Pizza Bar, said a review of security videotape taken inside his nightspot showed the rapper and her friends having a good time before they exited. Police took a copy of the security videotape.
"The police have indicated to us that the altercation happened a block away," the owner said. "The security tapes determined there was no physical or verbal altercation while they were in the Pizza Bar."
Remy Ma was nominated for a Grammy as part of the Terror Squad for the 2004 summer smash "Lean Back." She also earned the "Best Female Hip Hop Artist" award at the 2005 BET Awards.
She went on to a solo career, releasing last year's "There's Something About Remy." She has appeared on recordings with best-selling performers including Fat Joe, Eminem and R. Kelly, according to a biography on her Web site.
Chris Landry, president of Sure Shot Recording, which is releasing Remy Ma's latest album, "The BX Files," in August said he did not know anything about the shooting incident. "I don't really keep in touch with her," he said.
The rapper was sought for an early morning shooting in front of The Pizza Bar in Manhattan around 4:00 am this morning, that left a 23-year-old associate with gunshot wounds to the torso.
Details are still emerging, but police said Remy Ma became involved in a dispute with childhood friend Makeda Barnes- Joseph, over $2000.
An argument ensued and according to reports, Martin exited her Blue Cadillac Escalade, opened the driver's side door of Barnes-Joseph's Maxima and shot her twice in the torso.
Remy Ma then fled the scene and crashed the Escalade a block away. She fled on foot along with several unidentified males, who were apprehended and questioned earlier.
Barnes-Joseph was taken to Saint Vincent's Hospital and is in stable condition.
The Pizza Bar's owner said that surveillance cameras captured the entourage in the bar during the evening and that police were reviewing the footage seeking additional details.
Representatives for Remy Ma did not return comment at press time;
