Jimmy "Henchman" Rosemond & Five Others Charged With Conspiring To Kill 50 Cent Associate
Jimmy Henchman's litany of legal woes continued as he faces a murder rap in retaliation for an assault on his son.
On Friday (June 22), six men were charged with conspiring to murder the associate of 50 Cent.Among the men is Jimmy "Henchman" Rosemond, who is charged with arranging the murder Lowell Fletcher in 2009.
In 2011, two Rosemond associates had been charged with the murder.
Rosemond, who has long been accused of involvement with the murders of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G., was convicted of running a multimillion-dollar cocaine ring earlier this month.
Fletcher's murder was allegedly in retaliation for an assault on Rosemond's son.
Rosemond “operated like a mini-gang, allegedly committing a revenge killing, and a host of drug and firearms offenses,” said United States attorney Preet Bharara, according to the New York Times.
The indictment provides that Fletcher was shot to death on September 27, 2009 in the Bronx, allegedly in exchange for drugs.
“This has not been a good month for Jimmy the Henchman,” said Raymond W. Kelly, the New York police commissioner, in a statement.
Jimmy "Henchman" Rosemond has been found guilty June 22, 2012 on all charges in his drug case, which began last month.
According to AHH, Rosemond was found guilty of all 13 charges in connection with his "Rosemond Organization." Prosecutors assert that Rosemond's company moved hundreds of kilograms of cocaine from the West Coast to New York.
The former music executive was silent and "emotionless" as he learned his fate. He is facing life in prison, and will be sentenced at a later date that is yet to be announced.
