"Special Delivery"

...Literally, I just found out about this.  The man who is "almost" single handled responsible for bringing the Harlem Shake dance to the world's attention just "delivered" himself to police.  I'm just glad he did the right thing although, at what point do you just let it ride?

MTVNEWS Former Bad Boy MC G. Dep admitted this week to fatally shooting a man nearly 20 years ago.



The New York Post reports that on Wednesday, the 36-year-old rapper, born Trevell Coleman, walked into the 25th precinct in Harlem and confessed to killing a man way back in 1993.

"I shot and killed someone 17 years ago," he reportedly told an officer at the precinct.

According to the Post report, Dep told police that he was riding a bike when he approached his victim, 32-year-old John Henkel, on Park Avenue and East 114th street near the James Weldon Johnson housing projects. Dep, just 18 years old at the time, was planning to rob Henkel, but when he resisted, shot him three times in the chest with a .40-caliber hand gun. He then fled from the crime scene and threw the gun into the East River. Henkel was pronounced dead at St. Luke's hospital.
