Federal prosecutors have claimed that Florida rapper Kodak Black is linked to a March shooting near Pompano Beach, according to new court filings. His attorney disputes the claims.
Prosecutors allege Kodak bought three firearms and more than 100 rounds of ammunition earlier this year, and that one of those guns, a Sig MPX K 9mm, was recovered after a non fatal shooting in the Golden Acres neighborhood. They say the other weapons he bought were a Mini Draco and a Sig P238 .380 handgun. Prosecutors also allege he gave false information on the paperwork used to buy the guns.
According to Complex, investigators say a Porsche Panamera Kodak rented was later found abandoned away from the scene, and GPS data from the car allegedly places it near the shooting during the time it happened. Prosecutors also say a live round was found jammed in the chamber of the MPX K, and that the gun carried his fingerprints.
Kodak’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, pushed back on the allegations. He said there are currently no reports that Kodak’s fingerprints were on the gun, and that witnesses have told his team they did not see Kodak at the scene that night. Cohen also says multiple people support Kodak’s alibi. Prosecutors, for their part, say they have witnesses who place him there.
Kodak is also facing a separate criminal case in South Carolina from 2016, which is still pending. In the federal case, prosecutors say he did not disclose that he was under indictment when he filled out the application to buy firearms, which could carry up to 10 years in prison if he is convicted. Kodak has not been convicted of any of the claims in the new filings.
