Suspects In The Murder Case of T.I.’s Entourage Arrested

Two men have been arrested in Cincinnati for a murder of a member of T.I’s (Clifford Joseph Harris) entourage in addition to injuring three men associated with the rapper. The suspects Hosea Thomas and Padron Thomas have been charged with murder and felonious assault, for the deadly shooting that took place almost two years ago.

Tim Gormly, a Cincinnati Homicide Detective stated, “The shooting escalated after a series of altercations that night between the alleged shooters and Harris’ entourage.”

According to reports, the two men emerged at a party and became angered with T.I. and his entourage.

“T.I. and his group were in the VIP area,” Gormly said. “The suspects wanted to get in the VIP area and weren’t allowed to.” At one point, he stated, one of the brothers was struck in the head with a bottle.

Witnesses say the whole ordeal started when T.I. and his entourage threw money at the crowd when they were performing on stage.

The shooting took place once the rapper and his entourage left the club. As they left in two vans, they were being followed by two SUVs and it didn’t take long for gunfire to ensue.
The rapper has recently been under scrutiny since being released from prison and receiving a surprising light sentence in connection to violation of federal laws involving illegal gun possession.

The ATL rapper should be able to attend this hearings…
