Master P will reportedly pay for the funeral expenses of a 12-year old boy killed by a homeless man in Cherokee Park in Louisville, Kentucky according WLKY.com.
WLKY reports that 21-year old Joseph Cambron was arrested on Thursday (October 2) for the murder of Ray Etheridge as well as for tampering with physical evidence. Ray Etheridge, a seventh-grade student, was reportedly homeless alongside his mother and stepfather, spending significant amounts of time in Louisville’s Mid City Mall. Cambron and Etheridge apparently knew each other ahead of a physical altercation on Tuesday afternoon (September 30) in which Cambron pulled a knife and stabbed the pre-teen to death.
Police report that Cambron and Etheridge had spent time together in Cherokee Park in previous weeks and confirmed that Etheridge was seen with Cambron in surveillance video directly before his death.
“We were able to put some information together, they did know each other from that area for a few weeks,” Lt. Todd Kessinger of the Louisville Metro Police Department’s Homicide Unit said.
Master P will reportedly cover the funeral expenses while the Etheridge family is currently raising money for a headstone.
Master P has more than once cited Louisville as a second home and announced plans last year to film parts of a documentary about “the effects of chronic incarceration, poverty, and violence on the African American community” in Kentucky’s biggest city. Last year, Louisville.com reported that “African Americans make up 20 percent of Louisville’s nearly 700,00 residents, but 56 percent of the prison populations.” Holding a news conference about the documentary in June of 2013, Master P spoke about his own personal experience with violence and prison. “I have a brother dead,” he said. “I have a brother incarcerated, so I know on a firsthand basis what is going on. We’re killing each other basically, that’s why I decided to change my life.”

What kind of cowardly man stabs a homeless child?
Master P a real one.
Masta P bwase
Im from louisville and P is a real dude. A 1 year old was shot he came to the immediately and marched in the childs honor and donating money to the family. He’s really been trying to help with the violence here. P is coo peoples as far as I know.
i bet he still spittin that brap brap gun talk shit in his raps tho
lol yep he is sadly. You know a lot of these entertainers are hypocrites at the end of the day
Yeah but at Anonymous back in my day I listened to Mob Deep and a lot of Gangsta rap, it never made me want to do wrong or kill anybody. I didn’t live in the greatest of neighborhoods either, but I was a good dude so I didn’t let that hood shit bother me. I think it comes down to an individual and parenting as well. I don’t care what anyone says, If you have good parenting and you as an individual are a good person, you can listen to gansta rap all day, listen to metal and rock and play violent video games and never hurt a soul. People that use all these excuses and things as scapegoats need to realize that if a person comes from a broken home or life, and they are fucked up, it doesn’t matter what they listen to, play or watch, they are bound to hurt somebody, if not themselves. I’m not saying that all rap needs to be about guns but an artist has the ability to talk some shit or tell a story, it’s up to the individual to understand it’s just entertainment. Should I play GTA 5 and think to myself that I really should perform those acts? Absolutely not. Just trying to make a point here.
It’s crazy how people don’t give Master P the credit he deserves.
He’s even raised his sons better than most parents have done.
If by raising them you mean letting them rap over his beats then yeah he’s father of the year.
Like wtf made is dude stab a kid? Smh fucked up ass world man, definetly needs some retooling as a whole though, even people with jobs are fucking broke ass. The mighty dollar
Kids can’t talk shit?
they can, but they know less about what they’re talking a bit which makes their shit irrelevant.
another publicity stunt so this old lame fart gets attention.
He does shit on the regular for the city of Louisville. When you assume you make an ASS of U and ME.
That’s why he’s The Last Don!!! Real G shit!!
this is good
