A hip-hop promoter was shot to death yesterday
in the South Bronx, according to the New York Daily News, and police are investigating
into the possibility that it is connected to the murder of Jam Master Jay.
Kenneth "Headquarterz" Walker, 31,
was found shot to death in his van. Walker was missing several pieces of expensive
jewelry, leading authorities to believe that robbery may have been the motive.
Police patrolling the area said they heard gunfire
at 3 a.m. at Rider Ave and 104th Street. When they arrived Walker had been shot
numerous times and police found eight .45 caliber shell casings at the scene.
Walker had attended a 50 Cent concert earlier in the week.
"We are looking into possible connections
or whether this was a coincidence," said Sgt. Kevin Hayes, a police spokesman.
Walker was also a longtime member of the Gangstarr Foundation and was good friends
with both Guru and Premier.
Meanwhile, sources told AllHipHop.com that an
arrest in the murder of Jam Master Jay could come as early as next week, saying
that the New York Police Department was still piecing together the reasons for
Jay’s murder.
