Rising rapper Cassidy was denied bail, after surrendering to authorities to face homicide, weapons offenses, reckless endangerment and other charges stemming from an April 15 shooting that left one man dead in Philadelphia. Details are starting to emerge in the shooting, with accounts varying. While the police claim an earlier altercation in Cassidy’s West Oak Lane neighborhood was at the root of the brazen shootout, others in the neighborhood claimed Cassidy and the man gunned down were friends. Police said an investigation revealed that Cassidy was one of three men that allegedly shot up a vehicle behind a row house that the 22-year-old rapper was living in. The vehicle contained three passengers and the shooting spree seriously wounded two of the men and fatally wounded 22-year-old Desmond Hawkins, who was shot in the back. Police said that Cassidy and Hawkins had an altercation earlier in the day, citing that a neighborhood rivalry could have been at the heart of the dispute. Hawkins and Cassidy allegedly exchanged hostile words earlier in the day, causing the shoot-out later that night. "There were a lot of people who witnessed this, looking out of their windows," Homicide Detective Ed Rocks told the Philadelphia Daily News. "There were casings all over the place out there." Police recovered over 25 shell cases and witnesses said they saw a dozen men in black hoodies fleeing from the scene after the shooting. Local residents told the Philadelphia Daily News that contrary to what the police have stated, Cassidy and Hawkins were friends and that Hawkins is even featured in Cassidy’s DVD, “Back to Basics.” Police are still seeking Abdul West, 23 and another unidentified man. Cassidy is currently incarcerated at the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility, which ironically housed another major Philadelphia rapper, Beanie Sigel.
