Carey, Jay-Z's former bodyguard killed in club brawl
A former bodyguard for
JAY-Z, MARIAH CAREY and SEAN COMBS died in a bar brawl on Sunday
(15Nov09) - after he was fatally shot in the neck by New York
City police.
 Authorities
were called to Brooklyn club Norwood Palace early on Sunday
morning after gunfire broke out, allegedly over a spilled drink.
According to Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, a plainclothes
police officer fired at Kevin White, who was reportedly holding
a gun inside the club, after he failed to obey to instructions
to drop the weapon.
Surveillance video footage reportedly shows the 43-year-old
bouncer and celebrity security guard shooting at police prior to
the fatal blow.
White had been arrested on five previous occasions for weapon
possession, reports the New York Post.
However, his relatives insist White had just wrestled the gun
from a patron.
White's sibling, Louis, argues, "My brother would never carry a
gun."
Nineteen-year-old Donovan Wilson was also wounded in the
incident after reportedly firing a gun at another club bouncer.
He was shot in the elbow and hip after failing to follow police
orders to drop his weapon. |
