A
man believed to have committed murder after attending a concert by Boot Camp Click
member Sean Price has surrendered to Canadian police.Reuters
reports that authorities used the popular web site YouTube to help find George
Gallow, a 24-year-old Hamilton resident who is seen in a video posted on the site
arriving at a local nightclub for the November performance, wearing a baseball
cap with the word “Joker" on the front.Gallow,
who turned himself into police last week, is charged with second degree murder
and attempted murder. He
is accused of stabbing 22-year-old Ryan Milner and his friend in a parking lot
after the show. Hamilton
authorities revealed they uploaded the one-minute and 12 second clip from a surveillance
tape onto YouTube and that the video has been viewed more than 30,000 times since
it arrived on the site. "This
is an unfortunate incident with disturbing results, but speaks volumes to the
power of YouTube," Dru Ha told AllHipHop.com. "We’ve been aggressively
marketing Sean Price’s Jesus Price album on YouTube and it seems the police can
use our own marketing tactics to assist with their investigations."The
circumstances surrounding Gallow’s capture mark the first time Hamilton police
have used a video Web posting in an investigation, according to Staff Sgt. Jorge
Lasso, who told reporters that he believed, to the best of his knowledge, that
it was also "the first time that law enforcement has ever used it as a direct
investigative tool."YouTube’s
popularity among young people prompted police to utilize the site in its efforts.
