Doe B
One man
is in custody for the shooting that claimed that lives of rising rap
star Doe B. and a 21-year-old woman. Six others were injured Saturday
morning when gunfire erupted at the Centennial Hill Bar and Grill in
Montgomery, Alabama.
According to Montgomery’s WSFA TV, 25-year-old Jason McWilliams
turned himself in to local detectives late Sunday. He has been charged
with capital murder for the Saturday night shooting.
Police suspect McWilliams targeted Doe B. – born Glenn Thomas – because of a longstanding feud between the two. The 22-year-old rapper was signed to T.I.’s Grand Hustle Records.
Following the shooting, Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange ordered the
Centennial Hill Bar and Grill to close its doors immediately. Apart
from Saturday’s shooting, the venue has been host to several other
shootings and homicides in the past.
Police have arrested Jason McWilliams, 25, in the murders of Doe B and Kimberle Johnson.
Doe B’s management team, Blueprint Group, released the following statement to HollywoodLife.com concerning his death:
Doe B was an amazing young man, in every sense of the word. A truly
talented artist, a loving father and a dedicated member of the hip hop
community at large, he touched the lives of the many people who had the
privilege of knowing him. The Blueprint Group offers our condolences to
our Doe B label partners Interscope / Hustle Gang, his management DJ
Frank White and Brooklyn Knights, and most of all his family, friends
and fans at this very difficult time. We ask that you remember him not
by his untimely death, but by his love of life and the music he left
behind.
We are so sad for Doe B’s family, as he had two children and a third
on the way. Our thoughts go out to each and everyone of them.
