Rapper Cassidy is wanted in Philadelphia for the murder of a 22-year-old man during an April 15 shooting. A warrant for his arrest was issued on June 8.
Michael Giampietro, Cassidy's attorney, said he expects his client will surrender himself to authorities on Friday morning. A police spokesperson said when he does, Cassidy will be charged with conspiracy, weapons possession and homicide.
According to police, Cassidy (real name Barry Reese) and two other men, armed with .45 and .40 caliber handguns, 9 mm pistols, AK47 assault rifles and 7.62 mm rifles, fired on three other men during an argument that unfolded behind a house in the rapper's northwest Philadelphia neighborhood just before 1 a.m. on April 15.
One of the men who was shot, Desmond Hawkins, 22, of Philadelphia, died from a gunshot wound to the back. The two other men were treated at area hospitals for gunshot wounds and subsequently released.
Police said a second warrant was also issued for 23-year-old Abdul West, also of Philadelphia, who, along with Cassidy, was one of the three shooters involved in the incident. Homicide detectives have been unable to identify the third shooter. Police were not immediately clear as to what Cassidy's connection might have been to the two other shooters. But according to a spokesperson for the department, all of the men involved "knew each other."
The three victims were reportedly unarmed at the time.
Cassidy, the first MC of significance to be supported by Swizz Beatz's J-affiliated Full Service label, will release his sophomore album, I'm a Hustla, on June 28.

Apparently one of the few REAL GANGSTA rappers
And don;t say shit like hes stupid or something. This is what almost every rapper raps about. And he really does it.
That aint stupid, its real shit. Others rappers are stupid for saying things they dont know shit about.
And I dont even like Cassidy
pz

^well it is stupid to a certain degree coz like Nas said "we rap to get our families out of the streets and once we´ve gotten them out then why we wanna go back for?". and it´s stupid coz Cassidy probably has a lot of people who depend on him and he got kids so it is stupid. now he could be innocent but if he´s guilty he´lll regret it coz he´s pissed away an oppurtunity that a lot of people wants but can´t have.

Street cred? A celebrity allegedly shot an unarmed man in the BACK ? If it was street cred, they woulda just knuckled up and went to work. If the shit is true, then it's a bitch move, pullin hammers in an arguement. Hit the nigga in the mouth.
-
wow this guy is my hero casue he does the stupidity he raps about... ::)
-
nah saint its better 2 leave a nigga parapalegic :D dont be scared of the heats homie!! 8)
and he prolly got shot in the back cuz he was runnin away
i still think this is a publicity stunt though hell be out dude has alotta money to put up for lawyers anybody else me u or the next joe would be on death row
-
I feel ya, cuz... never scared with the steel. I'm good with my hands and I'd rather beat a nigga unconscious. If I go to the waistband, it's gonna be for somethin crucial, especially if I'm papered up like Cassidy.
