GONNA MISS YA
R.I.P 50 STATES,
The Smith brothers may enter a plea this week, but for now remain in Solano County Jail under $500,000 bail each. They have declined a Times-Herald interview request.
Police responding to emergency calls found Benolter Gambles (B.G), Pierre Smith's neighbor, and that man's friend, Sacramento "Mobb Figgaz" rapper Orindall Jack( FED X), shot several times outside Gambles' Blue Rock Village apartment in the 2000 block of Ascot Parkway. Jack's infant daughter was sitting in a nearby car but was not injured.
Jack, 25, sustained a gunshot wound to his head and shoulder, police said. A nursing supervisor said he was still in critical condition Saturday at John Muir Medical Center, Walnut Creek.
Gambles, 23, was shot three times in the head but the injuries were less severe, police said. He was listed in fair condition Saturday.
Police say Gambles and Pierre Smith got into a fight Tuesday, which led to the next day's bloodshed. Some who know the men say the dispute was over money, but Smith's rap producing brother says it had nothing to do with music.
Police arrested Gamble's upstairs neighbor, 27-year-old Pierre Smith, after the man turned himself in at police headquarters at about 6:30 p.m., Wentz said.
Hours earlier, police had arrested Smith's brother, 26-year-old Kareem D. Smith, at a residence on Seacrest Drive.
The brothers were booked into Solano County Jail under two counts each of attempted murder. The younger Smith, a parolee convicted of felony assault, also lives in the Blue Rock Village complex but does not share his brother's residence, Wentz said.
Police recovered a handgun they believe the brothers used in the shooting, Wentz said. Detectives also served search warrants on multiple locations in Vallejo, Wentz said, declining to elaborate.
Detectives are still sorting out the nature of the dispute between Gamble and his neighbor, Wentz said, adding that police are not sure how the rapper is involved.
No other suspects are being sought, Wentz said.
At the scene Wednesday morning, investigators marked off evidence around Gambles' white Mercedes-Benz coupe and his girlfriend's silver Lexus coupe parked in a carport in front of the apartment.
Police found the injured men lying near the carport and an adjacent sidewalk. Officers placed markers next to a red hat, brown boot and blue jeans on the sidewalk where one of the victims was treated.
A woman at the scene said she was Gambles' girlfriend and had witnessed the attack. "He just started shooting," the woman said as police escorted her away for questioning. "He was on the floor. They just started beating him."
Neighbors watched as police scanned for clues.
Arnold Barton was decorating his apartment for the holidays with his wife and daughter when they heard about the incident. "It's something to hear this happen in your own complex," Barton said.
Edward Butler, 58, waited for police to let him get to his car, which was parked near where the victims were treated. He said police told him his car was splattered with blood.
"Never in my wildest dreams would I think something like that would happen to either one of them," he said.
Apartment complex managers declined to comment on the shooting.
At the police station, Jack's fiancee picked up their daughter. She declined to comment on the shootings.
