VICTIM’S MOTHER BLASTS REMY MA
LATEST: The mother of REMY MA’s alleged shooting victim has blasted the troubled rapper for denying she fired a gun at her friend.
The hip-hop star, real name Remy Smith, was arrested on Saturday (14Jul07) over the shooting of 23-year-old Makeda Barnes-Joseph in New York City’s Meatpacking district. The victim remains in a stable condition in hospital.
Smith is currently free on a $250,000 (£125,000) bond after being charged with attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon. On Monday (16Jul07), she declared, "I didn’t shoot my friend! I didn’t shoot nobody!" Christina Barnes, mother of injured Makeda, is furious at Smith’s denial, telling the New York Daily News, "She shot my child and she knows that. When the day comes, we’ll all find out for sure." Smith is alleged to have shot Makeda at a pizza bar after accusing the latter of stealing $3,000 (£1,500).
Christina insists, "Makeda would never steal money. She doesn’t need it and I didn’t raise her like that."
