According to The Miami Herald, on Monday night an aspiring Miami rapper was shot and killed by police after a standoff in the attic of a home in Miami Gardens.
According to police, Anthony “Dollar Bill” Levy had barricaded himself in the attic with a bulletproof vest and ammunition. A special response team was called in and Levy was shot when he attempted to stab one of the officers.
‘‘These bad guys need to understand they need to comply,” John Rivera, president of Miami-Dade’s Police Union told The Miami Herald. “They can’t be making threatening moves toward police officers.”
Although police have reported that Levy was carrying a knife it has yet to be confirmed if he was armed or not.
“We believe he may have been armed during that confrontation,” Miami-Dade Police Department Detective Roy Rutland explained to Miami’s CBS 4.
Before his death, Levy was wanted on several charges including aggravated kidnapping, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm on school property.
Levy’s mother explained to The Miami Herald that he was an up and coming rapper who was trying to get his life together and that he was working on music in his studio when police had arrived.
”He’s a rapper, but he’s not a bad boy the way they say,” Levy’s mother Marie Ascencio explained to the Herald.
The crime scene is currently being investigated by Miami Gardens Police and Miami-Dade Police.
Lies, lies, and more lies from the police… The attic space was too small for him to stand. There was no utensils in the house to even threaten officers… The arrests were because of his baby mother… I can go on about the holes in this story… They never mentioned that it was a Broward County officers who fired the kill shot… Miami Gardens full of shit!
All they do is Lie. They bust the door down and shot him on the spot. I’ll be glad when the tables turn on them and their loved one’s life Is snatched away by violence in the same way they kill ppl. so they’ll know from experience what that kind of pain feels like.
His dumb ass should of came out. Bet the police don’t kill me. You reap what you sow. He was a pos and I’d of shot his ass about 2 hours earlier
You are a dumb ass for believing that
All the Police had today was that he had a weapon, but, as always, the “weapon” was never found.
