Pasadena
Police
have announced that theyare seeking E-40 as the suspect in a Felony assault that left
a 29 year old man hospitalized. As we reported earlier from our
sources that were present and covering the event, the man turned
out to be Andre Dow, or Mack Minister. Dow, who is from San Francisco
and E-40 had a falling out, and have since sued each other. Pasadena
Police Lt. Rick Aversano told the LA Times: "During a melee,
[Dow] was hit several times in the head and body. His friends
got him out of the auditorium and to his hotel." Aversano
also said Dow had been treated at St. Joseph Medical Center in
Burbank for face wounds.
Organizers and representatives for the event have down played
the violence, saying nothing was damaged, and it wasn’t a big
deal. E-40 has 3 Gold albums, and is scheduled to release his
latest, Loyalty And Betrayal in October. He is riding high on
the song, Nah Nah featuring Nate Dogg. UPN will air a restaged
version of the show, which had a $3 Million dollar production
budget, on August 29 at 8 p.m.
