Atlanta Rapper Diego Dose Involved In Home Invasion; Shoots Cop
Diego Dose
Atlanta rapper Diego Dose was arrested last week for his involvement in a home inva- sion that left him severely wounded and a cop shot.
Diego Dose, formerly known as Young Dose was once part of DJ Clue’s Desert Storm label. He has recorded songs with artists like Fabolous, Future and Rick Ross.
The rapper, born Michael Thomas, and Antonio Bell allegedly kicked in the door to an apartment in the Brook- wood apartments in the Buck- head area of Atlanta this past Sunday.
According to WSB-TV At- lanta, one police officer was shot in the hallway as he ar- rived on the scene. Fortunately, the officer was wearing a bul- letproof vest, which his peers credit for his survival.
Diego Dose wasn’t so lucky. The officer responded by shoot- ing him in the chest at least two times.

Not only did Lin-Manuel Miranda win a Tony for Best Original Score for his historic musical “Hamilton,” he opted to accept the award by reciting a heartfelt sonnet.
“Senseless acts of tragedy re- mind us that nothing here is promised, not one day,” he said. “This show is proof that history remembers. We live through times when hate and fear seem stronger. We rise and fall and light from dying embers, remembrances that hope and love last longer.”
He talks about his wife and , and the banality of senseless violence and the enduring power of love.
