Chicago rapper RondoNumbaNine has been arrested and charged with 1st degree murder in connection to the February 22 shooting death of 28-year old cab driver Javan Boyd.
Boyd was waiting for a customer at around 4 A.M. when 17-year old Rondo, real name Clint Massey, approached his vehicle with another unidentified shooter. The two began firing shots into Boyd's vehicle, hitting him 7 times.
Boyd was taken to Stroger Hospital and pronounced dead.
Assistant State's Attorney Robert Mack said Massey and his accomplice were in the area looking to retaliate for an earlier fight. It's not known if Boyd was the person they were looking for.
