Back in 2007 during the height of the Game and Jimmy Rosemond vs 50 Cent and G-Unit beef, 50 Cent cronie Tony Yayo and a guy named Lowell Flectcher were arrested for slapping and punching a 14 year old boy who was wearing a Czar Entertainment T-shirt [click here if you missed that]. Turns out the kid was the son of Czar Entertainment head honcho Jimmy Henchmen. Yeah. You know what happened next...
Tony Yayo's mama's house got shot up [click here if you missed that] and Lowell 'Lodi Mac' Flectcher ended up doing two years in jail. Fletcher was gunned down in the Bronx a few weeks after his release in 2009. Now two Henchmen associates have been indicted for Lowell Flecther's murder.
From The Smoking Gun
The September 2009 killing of Lowell Fletcher, investigators believe, was retribution for the assault two years earlier of James Rosemond’s 14-year-old son. Additionally, sources said, federal agents suspect that Rosemond ordered and paid for the attack.
Fletcher struck the boy in the head after spotting him on a Manhattan sidewalk wearing a t-shirt with the name of his father’s music management business, Czar Entertainment. Rosemond’s son was on his way to his father’s West 25th Street office, which was across the street from the headquarters of 50 Cent’s management firm.
At the time of the March 2007 attack, the chart-topping performer was involved in a heated rivalry with the rapper The Game, who was managed by Rosemond’s company.
Fletcher, nicknamed Lodi Mack, subsequently pleaded guilty to endangering the welfare of a child, while fellow G-Unit member Tony Yayo (real name: Marvin Bernard) copped a plea to harassing the younger Rosemond.
Fletcher was imprisoned for nearly two years for the assault and an unrelated narcotics charge. Two weeks after being paroled in mid-September 2009, Fletcher was shot to death on a quiet Bronx street at 9:30 PM. New York Police Department investigators reportedly believed that Fletcher, 32, had been ambushed by several men that Sunday evening.
In a superseding indictment unsealed late last month in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, federal prosecutors accused two men of involvement in Fletcher’s murder. Rodney Johnson, 37, was charged with plotting with unnamed coconspirators to orchestrate the homicide. He is alleged to have agreed to pay Brian McCleod and “others known and unknown” to kill Fletcher. The 40-year-old McCleod, pictured below, agreed to commit the killing “in exchange for narcotics.”
