Police investigating Telfair in connection with shooting

ESPN.com news services

New York City police sources tell ESPN's Jeremy Schaap that Boston Celtics guard Sebastian Telfair is being investigated for a possible role in the shooting of rapper Fabolous.

Skylar John Jackson, 28, also known as Fabolous, was shot and wounded in the left thigh Monday night outside of Justin's, a New York club owned by hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs. Telfair was outside of the same club Monday night, and the shooting occurred shortly after a $50,000 chain was ripped from Telfair's neck.

Telfair was observed making a phone call after the chain was stolen.

"We're investigating whether there's a connection between the reported robbery and the shooting," New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne told The Associated Press.

After the incident, four men, including Fabolous, were arrested and charged with having unregistered, loaded weapons in their SUV.

On Tuesday night, Telfair viewed four police lineups that included Fabolous and his three companions, but he was unable to identify any suspects.

According to Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg, several witnesses heard gunshots outside the East 22nd Street restaurant at about 12:30 a.m. There were a number of calls to 911, and one witness took down the make and license plate of a sport utility vehicle leaving the scene, she said.

Heard about this yesterday, but didn't think there was an actual beef between Telfair and Fab...Telfair's always been known in the NBA as a thug. Makes sense when you put 2 and 2 together...PeACe

I'd rather be named Sebastian than Skylar. No wonder he goes by Fabolous

Both of them are idiots, so hopefully they both turn up dead soon.

Telfair, authorities differ on investigation status

Boston Celtics guard Sebastian Telfair denied yesterday that he is under investigation for the shooting of rapper Skylar John Jackson – also known as Fabolous – but the police are singing a different tune.

“I wasn't being investigated for any shooting,” Telfair told reporters at the Celtics' practice facility in Waltham, Mass. “My necklace was snatched from my neck.” However, the New York police say Telfair is being investigated.

“We're investigating whether there's a connection between the reported robbery and the shooting,” New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne told The Associated Press earlier this week.

Telfair, 21, had a $50,000 chain ripped off his neck early Tuesday morning outside Justin's, a Manhattan club owned by hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. Twenty minutes later, Jackson, 28, was shot in the left thigh outside the club.

The New York Daily News reported that surveillance video captured two members of Fabolous' entourage robbing Telfair. The paper's sources claim Telfair saw the men inside the club and made a cell phone call. The security camera reportedly captured the shooter leaving in a gray car.

According to Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg, several witnesses heard gunshots outside the East 22nd Street restaurant at about 12:30 a.m. There were a number of calls to 911, and one witness took down the make and license plate of a sport utility vehicle leaving the scene, she said.

After the incident, four men, including Fabolous, were arrested and charged with having unregistered, loaded weapons in their SUV.
