Naughty by Nature front man Treach was detained and questioned by police yesterday (April 22), after multiple shootings broke out throughout the city, in a violent 24-hour period.
According to local police, the rapper was stopped after police heard gunshots ring out in Newark, after two men shot and killed each other, and five others were wounded in separate incidences.
When police pulled the rapper’s Hummer over for driving erratically, they found the rapper wearing a bulletproof vest, but no weapons in the car, although police did recover a gun nearby.
Over the past 24 hours, two teens shot and killed each other during a gun battle, a man and a woman were shot in the face, a third man was shot in the leg, one man was shot when bullets pierced his front door, while another man was shot in the foot.
Additionally, a 27-year-old man was arrested for shooting a police sergeant, as well as two other shootings that the man committed within a five minute time frame.
