2 Detroit Men Face Murder Charge In Shooting Death Of 2-Year-Old Boy
Trick Daddy Under Fire After Dissing Jay-Z And Saying Beyoncé ‘Can’t Sing’
Two Detroit men are facing first-degree murder charges in the shooting death of a 2-year- old child on Interstate 75 after authorities said they opened fire, killing Brison Christian and wounding his 9-year-old brother. The shooters shot at the wrong car.
The incident, the latest in a string of freeway shootings, is prompting police to ramp up efforts to crack down on road rage incidents by teaming up with surrounding agencies.
The arrests and freeway crackdown were announced Tuesday at a news conference after Detroit Police Chief James White, Mayor Mike Duggan, Michigan State Po- lice Lt. Michael Shaw, com- munity activists, and the family of Brison Christian met to discuss initiatives to combat violence.
White announced Opera- tion Brison, in which the de- partment will partner with neighboring suburban cities to increase freeway patrols to prevent road rage incidents.
BRISON CHRISTIAN AND HIS BROTHER, BJ
TRICK DADDY
Trick Daddy is out of his mind. The Miami rapper changed his controversial opinions on Jay-Z and Bey- oncé. When he hopped on air at 99 Jamz Miami Tuesday and said Beyonce couldn't sing and Jay-Z is not a good rapper. He clarified the state- ments after being crucified by Beyonce's Beehive.
“What I meant is Beyonce can't sing like Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston. Trick also clarified even further Tuesday in an Instagram Live—adding that he thinks Bey can sing, but not like
JAY-Z AND BEYONCE
those vocalists. He also used the moment to throw some flowers Chris Brown’s way. He's the closest artist to Michael Jackson."
Trick Daddy is really under fire on social media after the controversial com- ments went viral, when he claimed Beyoncé couldn’t sing and Jay-Z “never won the greatest rapper alive.”
The audio clip, which began circulating on social media, starts with the Florida MC dis- cussing another unidentified artist, when he begins to ex- plain his feelings on Bey.
The other cities that will be participating have not been an- nounced yet.
“Families shouldn’t have to be fearful of riding on the free- ways and that's what Opera- tion Brison is about, is honoring this baby who didn’t get an opportunity to live and do things we take for granted now,” Chief White said.
Brison Christian was killed in a shooting on I-75 at
McNichols on June 12. The Christian family was on their way home from basketball practice at about 9:45 p.m. when another car pulled up and started firing shots.
Brison was struck in his head and his older brother, Brian Jr., known as BJ, was struck in his left arm. Brison was pronounced dead at the hospital. BJ is recovering from his injuries.
