In 2009 the former Downsound Records artist and his son, Janeil, and another man, Dennis Clayton, were charged with the shooting death of Ricardo Johnson who was gunned down in the Waltham Park area earlier that year.

Justice Gayle passed the ruling for the entertainer’s trial to finally begin despite applications from attorneys representing the three men appealing for a stay of proceedings for abuse of process.
