Police in Madison,
Wisconsin are seeking to question Milwaukee rapper Coo Coo Cal after a shooting
over the weekend left a man wounded.
Authorities said
the victim is recovering and revealing details of the shooting, which was apparently
sparked by a dispute over a dice game.
After a performance
at a local club area club, police believe Coo Coo Cal and his entourage went
to another nightspot and was involved in a high-stakes gambling game known as
craps.
Witnesses at the
scene said the victim may have grabbed for a pile of cash too early, resulting
in the melee.
The shooting occurred
just when the owner of the establishment was attempting to remove restrictions
on his license due to past issues.
"It makes
absolutely no sense to remove those restrictions,” Captain Luis Yudice
told Wisctv News 3. “As a matter of fact, we’re going to recommend that
those restrictions remain in place and we’re going to analyze their security
plan, and we may ask for additional measures (to) be created as well.”
Employees of the
establishment said that patrons were checked for weapons, but the performers
that evening were not.
Coo Coo Cal topped
the rap charts in 2001 with his single “My Projects,” a dedication
to his hometown of Westlawn taken from his major label debut Disturbed.
