Four gunmen suspected in the
shootout between the CNN camp and Lil Kim’s entourage were caught
on videotape climbing into Lil Kim’s limo directly after the
shooting, in downtown Manhattan.
The videotape, which
was taken from a surveillance camera on a nearby building shows
the men getting back into the limo about a half a block from
Hot 97’s offices.
The limo was already
in motion and slowed to allow the men to get inside. Lil Kim
has denied any involvement in the shooting, in which a CNN affiliated
man, Efrain Ocasio, was shot in the back amidst a hail of at
least 22 bullets. Kim stated that she left 15 minutes before
the shooting. The official statement from Hillary Weston was:
“Lil’ Kim and her security had nothing to do whatsoever with
the incident. Kim had no knowledge of any argument nor what
instigated the gunfire.”
The videotape did not capture the shooting, which is still being
investigated.
