Holy Cow Batman!

It appears that Busta Rhymes body guard was shot and killed Sunday. Some things just aren't funny, death usually being one of em, oh and shoe sales (not funny, shoes that is). This Blurb Is Important!

A bodyguard for Busta Rhymes was shot dead during a star-studded video shoot in New York. Missy Elliot, Busta Rhymes and G-Unit members including Lloyd Banks were scheduled to be filming on a ninth-floor soundstage in Brooklyn on Sunday (02.05.06) when trouble started. Police Sergeant Kevin Farrell said the bodyguard, 29-year-old Israel Ramirez - a longer time member of the rapper's entourage - was killed with a single shot to the chest. According to witnesses and the police, the shooting may have been the result of a dispute that began inside the building involving members of the film crew and a group of men who were interfering with the video shoot. A crew member told The New York Times that the row began when the men ignored repeated requests to keep quiet. He said:

"Words were exchanged, and they were not happy words."

More than 500 people were gathered for the Busta Rhymes video, and it was unclear how many were outside when shots were fired.
