According to the United States Department of Justice, five people have been charged with robbery conspiracy, robbery and murder through the use of a firearm in the tragic death of Jonathan Tuck, brother to Nicole Tuck, Dj Khaled’s wife.
The initial report on Tuck’s murder concluded the victim was in a drug deal gone wrong, but that theory was later proven incorrect after it was revealed that Tuck was merely in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was shot in the back of the head after visiting an apartment to watch the Super Bowl early this year when an attempted robbery broke out. Tuck was shot during the scuffle.
The suspects responsible for his death have been arrested and charged with robbery conspiracy, robbery, and murder through the use of a firearm. The suspects have been identified as Luis Semiday (aka Pop Off), Richard Jimenez (aka Showtime), Kevin Cruz (aka Juice), Ira Lawson (aka Malachi) and Curtis Hines (aka Curt). The names and nicknames were issued in a statement by the department of justice.
NYPD commissioner James P. O’Neill stated, “I applaud the tireless work of our NYPD detectives and our partners at the Southern District, whose close collaboration led to today’s charges. We have zero tolerance for crime and violence of any kind in our city, and New Yorkers in every neighborhood deserve to feel safe on our streets. Today, these five men are correctly being held accountable for their actions – which include, tragically, ending another man’s life.”
Continued condolences to the Tuck family ??
