Mazaradi Fox, a Jamaica native who was reportedly close to the rapper 50 cent, died after being gunned down at Farmers Boulevard and 134th Avenue last Friday, according to police and other published reports.
A Springfield Gardens rapper with ties to 50 Cent was killed after being gunned down last Friday afternoon, according to authorities.
Jamal Green, 42, whose stage name was Mazaradi Fox, was shot and killed, and another man was seriously wounded, in the incident, according to police.
The NYPD said four people were in an SUV parked at 133rd Avenue and Farmers Boulevard in Springfield Gardens when an unknown male assailant began shooting at them. Green, who had recently gotten out of prison after serving a two-year sentence for attempted assault, was shot in the torso; a 21-year-old man sustained a gunshot wound to his neck and shoulder; a 22-year-old male was reportedly wounded in the leg; and a 32-year-old female was wounded in her neck, according to police. All were taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, and the 21-year-old was listed in critical condition, the NYPD said.
Green, who was convicted of attempted murder in 1998, was reportedly a childhood friend of 50 Cent – a rapper who grew up in South Jamaica.
“Saddened by the news of Mazaradi’s tragic passing,” 50 Cent tweeted. “My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.”
Green also, according to other published reports, helped to raise D’Aja Robinson, the 14-year-old girl who was shot and killed on a public bus in Jamaica last May.
