Police Seek To Question Fat Joe As Witness To Double Homicide In Miami

Police seek to question Bronx, NY rapper Fat Joe as a witness to the fatal shooting of two people over the Memorial Day holiday weekend in Miami, a holiday hot spot.

Miami Beach police arrested Jermaine "Wufgang" Chamberline who has confessed to the murders.

Police believe that Fat Joe may have seen what happened, according to the Miami Herald.

Jose ''Fat Joe'' Cartagena could have been hanging out with Lessli Paz and Joey Navarro, the men that were slain early Monday morning.

According to the report, Fat Joe was slated to perform at a party with DJ Khaled, a staple in Miami's DJ scene and member of Joe's Terror Squad crew.

Paz, Navarro, and other men were sitting in a parked black Cadillac Escalade at David's Café II, around 6 am.

Fat Joe could have been in the vehicle as well, according to the Herald.

A melee exploded and three men began to fight in front of the restaurant.

''As the two groups began punching and kicking each other, [ Jermaine ''Wufgang'' Chamberline ] reached into his right front pocket and pulled out a 9mm handgun,'' said an arrest report.

After pulling a weapon, Chamberline allegedly fired four times, slaying Paz and Navarro.

The Jamaican-born Chamberline was arrested by Detective Andrew Dohler of the Miami Beach police.

He eventually confessed to the crime after detectives were able to put him at the scene of the crime and present him with witness statements.

Men claiming to be friends of Paz and Navarro refused to work with the police, but Chamberline was seen and questioned near the murder scene.

''If it weren't for that stop, we probably would never have solved this crime. We weren't getting any cooperation from the victim's so-called friends,'' Miami Beach Sgt. Robert Hernandez said.

Chamberline was formally charged with two counts of second-degree murder and one count of carrying a concealed weapon by a convicted felon.

Representatives for Fat Joe had no comment.

theres been a lot on the forum latly relating to snitching. and when i read this i wondered; if the mans already confessed to the crime and say fat joe is to be used as a witness, is it still considered snitching? i mean tha guy already said he did it point blank and will most likely get 2 life sentences back to back without parole even if fat joe doesnt say anything.

Damn Fat Joe gotta be sweating this, I dont consider this snitching, cause fat joe is most likely gonna deny any involvement, and fat joe dont seem like the snitching type, but you bring up a very good question Rascal.

If fat joe does cooperate after dude allready admitted the crime, is he snitching?

I have to think that one out.

*I added to your rep for bringing this to the table, good discussion homie

Well i dont consider it snitching when the police already have the information needed to make a case. If the police already know the facts i dont even understand why they want fat joe to testify..why they even have to go to trial if they have everything

It seems to me that they dont have all the facts and they are trying to make a open and shut case..they need more facts that is why they are trying to get more statements

so if this is the case..and Fat Joe provides a statement then that would be snitching however if the police just need Fat Joe To co-sign then i guess that would be dry snitching?

I can't really call it....if you think Lil Cease is a snitch then Fat Joe Would be a snitch for helping because tha dude that shot up hot 97 that day confessed and lil Kim sat on da stand and lied so she was arrested for it and then when Cease sat on da stand -----s in da street was callin him a snitch

So For Me i say Joe should jus keep his mouth shut..refuse to comment and if they sapanina him then say he didn't see anything or refuse to comment

Cause they said he "may" have been in tha car they dont no..this is a tough thing tho he has to battle right and wrong here
