Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five rapper Kidd Creole has been arrested and charged with murder in connection with the stabbing of a homeless man in midtown Manhattan on Tuesday night, August 1.
It is reported that Creole, born Nathaniel Glover, was apprehended by NYPD on Wednesday, less than 24-hours after a group of tourists discovered that the victim, who they initially suspected had fainted over heat stroke, was bleeding from multiple stab wounds to the chest. He'd be rushed to Bellevue Hospital where he died a short time later, and before long video surveillance taken from the E. 44th Street and Third Avenue location of the stabbing lead to police identifying the 57-year-old pioneer, who was actually working as a security guard blocks away from the scene.
Police report that Creole has provided a statement on the killing, but haven't gone into detail on what he has said. The incident is reported to have sparked from an exchange of words that became personal before escalating into violence.
