NEW YORK – The rapper Fabolous was shot early Tuesday as he stood at a Manhattan parking garage, spurring a sequence of events that left him hospitalized and then under arrest.
The 28-year-old rapper, whose legal name is John Jackson, had just left Justin’s, a restaurant owned by Sean “Diddy” Combs, with three friends when a gunman approached and opened fire, police spokesman Sgt. Mike Wysokowski said.
Fabolous was hit in the thigh. He and his entourage jumped into a 2005 Dodge Magnum and fled, attracting the attention of police when they ran a red light. Officers stopped them and discovered two loaded guns in the vehicle, both of which were apparently unlicensed, Wysokowski said. All four men were arrested, and charges were pending.
