Bay Area-based rapper A-Wax is under investigation for a homicide in Pittsburg, California. According to The Mercury News, A-Wax was arrested on a murder warrant last Tuesday (March 10) but has only been charged with gun-related crimes.
The rapper, whose real name is Aaron Scott Doppie, was charged with three felony counts for his alleged possession of a loaded gun and two large-capacity magazines. But deputy district attorney Jen Tompkins reportedly convinced Judge Leonard Marquez to set A-Wax’s bail at $1.1 million after revealing the Hip Hop artist is being investigated for murder.
A-Wax’s attorney Paul Alaga indicated the murder investigation was for a 20-year-old case, but prosecutors denied the claim. The deputy district attorney asserted A-Wax is under scrutiny for a recent homicide.
“This is a current homicide being investigated, not a 20-year-old case,” Tompkins said.
Police allegedly found a loaded gun with a 30-round magazine, a 100-round magazine and more ammunition when they picked up A-Wax on the murder warrant. His attorney argued the gun and ammo were “nowhere near” his client, labeling the charges as “pure speculation.”
Prosecutors haven’t revealed any details about the murder investigation, including the victim’s name. A-Wax could be stuck behind bars for the foreseeable future though as coronavirus concerns have delayed court proceedings.
A-Wax’s bail hearing was scheduled for March 27 but is expected to be postponed. Contra Costa County courts have suspended operations for two weeks due to the coronavirus pandemic.

lol ok so you know wassup between them lol these other clowns don’t even understand that A-Wax really a killer
?
Awax got in some trouble when he was younger. But repaid his debut. And they r always goning to judge him by that. Even though he didnt do it.
Having guns and ammo laying around does not make you a criminal. Doing a crime does.
If he is a convicted criminal, a felon for example, having guns and ammo laying around makes you a criminal AGAIN. Dummy. Possession of a firearm by a felon is no joke, high cap magazines are Alain no joke in CA. So, yeah, you’re stupid.

Nice! My windows are so grimey! Where do I pick up my “free awax”
how does someone pay back their debut …. damn debut-collecters be blowing me up constantly?
I believe that the word you meant to use is debt. I’m not certain there is such a thing as a debut collector. But who knows I could be way off!??♂️
Talk to the debt collector. Ask what the best offer is to be able to pay off the debt. You won’t have to pay the whole thing. The debt collector will give you a number that’s probably half of what you owe. For instance if the debt is for 800 they will say we can pay this off today for 450. Tell them if they can do it for 350 then you can do it but that’s all you have. Whatever you do, don’t pay the first number offered, they will always go lower. Then ask for a letter of deletion sent to you and proof of payment in full.
