Hitman tells Baton Rouge detectives rapper Torrence “Lil Boosie’’ Hatch paid $15,000 to have a guy killed...
From The Advocate
An 18-year-old man accused in the slayings of local rapper Chris “Nussie’’ Jackson and five other men told detectives last year that Baton Rouge rapper Torrence “Lil Boosie’’ Hatch wanted Jackson “stamped’’ out, according to videotaped statements played in court Wednesday.
Michael “Marlo Mike’’ Louding told police detectives in May 2010 that Michael “Ghost’’ Judson, now deceased and Louding’s alleged accomplice in the Jackson killing, is the person who told him Hatch wanted Jackson killed, according to the statements.
Louding also told the detectives in one of the statements that he spoke with Hatch after the killing and Hatch said, “Ghost told me y’all hit that boy. I like that.’’
Portions of the statements were played in state District Judge Don Johnson’s courtroom during a hearing on a motion by Louding’s attorney to suppress his statements.
Prosecutor Dana Cummings said Louding indicates on the tapes that Jackson had been disrespectful to Hatch during a run-in with a Hatch supporter.
Hatch allegedly paid Judson $15,000, and Judson gave Louding $2,000, according to the statements.
Hatch, 28, is not charged in the Jackson slaying, but he is charged with first-degree murder in the Oct. 21, 2009, killing of Terry Boyd.
The hearing is scheduled to resume next week.
