Update On Las Vegas Slaughter: Rapper Thug Helped

Here is the latest on the shooting/accident by a bunch of thugs that left 3 people dead.
From the LVRJ: When Michael Boldon's son saw the aftermath of the horrific crash on the Las Vegas Strip Thursday morning, he immediately called his father.
He wanted to warn his dad, a cabdriver, to avoid the wreckage. But the call went to voicemail.
Not too long after, Boldon's son received another call - from an employee of Desert Cab company. His father had been in that charred wreckage....
Michael Boldon, 62, died about 4:30 a.m. after a Maserati heading north on Las Vegas Boulevard sped through a red light at Flamingo Road and crashed into his taxi. The cab exploded, and Boldon and his passenger, Sandra Sutton-Wasmund, 48, of Maple Valley, Wash., were killed.
Just before the crash, suspects in a black Range Rover had opened fire at the Maserati, fatally wounding 27-year-old Kenny Cherry with a gunshot to the chest. He was also known as rapper "Kenny Clutch."...
Police were investigating Cherry's involvement in pimping, although, aside from speeding tickets, his criminal record in Clark County was clean.
But that apparently was not the case in Oakland, Calif., where Cherry grew up and still spent time.
According to an Oakland Tribune report citing police sources, Cherry had prior arrests in Oakland and in Berkeley, and he had been convicted on a gun charge in 2007....
Sutton-Wasmund worked as a marketing representative for the Maple Valley-Black Diamond Chamber of Commerce in the Seattle area and owned All Service Plumbing with her husband, Jimmy, according to the chamber's website.
Her family members released a statement to Seattle television station KING 5 Friday:
"On behalf of Sandi's family, Sandi was a loving wife, mother, daughter and sister. Her innocent and tragic loss will be felt by all of those who knew and loved her and by the community at large. Her family appreciates the out pouring of love and support, and respect for privacy shown throughout this very difficult time."  http://www.lvrj.com/news/cab-driver-moved-to-las-vegas-to-be-near-family-192615941.html
A friend of mine who has some knowledge of the situation is quite sure that the rapper was involved in pimping prostitutes.  Further, other news sources say that the rapper that died had guns in his car when he died.  So the rapper who died was living up to his reputation of living the living the life of pimping and guns.  This thug rapper is just as responsible for the deaths of the two innocents- the taxi driver and his passenger, as the other shooters.  The thug rapper could have stopped the chase at anytime by not having guns in the car, by not leaving the Aria, by not going to the cops or not racing down Las Vegas Blvd.   Maybe if the thug rapper didn't try and live the lifestyle of a thug rapper, he would not be dead and he would not have contributed to the death of a taxi driver and his passenger.
And aspiring rapper?  Please, he has about 2 You Tube video's out.  That's about as aspiring as my playing football with my kids and saying I m an aspiring pro-football player.
RIP to Sandi Sutton-Wasmund and prayers to her family and friends.
Hopefully, the cops will catch the other thugs involved and prosecute the heck out of them.
