Charges Dropped Against Bronx Rapper Accused of Shooting at NYPD
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: DON EMMERT / Getty A 16-year-old Bronx rapper who made headlines for allegedly shooting a New York Police Department officer while being arrested has had the charges against him dropped. According to reports, officials with the Bronx Family Court Law Department confirmed last Friday (May 20th) that the charges against Camrin Williams, also known as C Blu, were dropped.
