Two Men Charged With Murder Of Man Who Drove Proof To Hospital
Two men in Detroit have been charged with the murder of the man who drove rapper Proof to the hospital after he was shot in the CCC club during an altercation with a bouncer at the venue.
Police charged John Henry Williams II, 31 and Corey Frazier, 29 on charges of first-degree murder and possession of a firearm during a felony. According to the Detroit Free Press, Gerald Rosic Gadie was with Proof on April 11 when the rapper shot and killed Keith Bender Jr., 35, during a dispute.
Bender's cousin Mario Etheridge, 28, then shot Proof, born Deshaun Holton, in what authorities later determined was done out of self-defense.
Gadie's body was found in the basement of his home on May 27. Police claim he was shot to death in a dispute over 20 pounds of marijuana and $7,000 in cash that had been stolen from Gadie in early May.
Gadie drove Proof to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
If convicted, both men face mandatory life sentences. A preliminary examination is scheduled for June 30.
