In this clip, Lord Jamar and Vlad discuss Aaliyah's alleged underage marriage to R. Kelly, to which there have been official documents released to the public that appears to prove that it happened. They also discuss the rumor that they had gotten married because R. Kelly had gotten Aaliyah pregnant, while how in retrospect the "Age Ain't Nothing But A Number" album was a confession in plain sight. From there, they recall R. Kelly attempting to pay his brother to take the blame for the alleged sex tape, which was released during the height of his career. Later on, Jamar wonders if we're 'victim blaming' R. Kelly considering that the singer was reportedly sexually assaulted during his childhood, leading him to delineate on the choices that victims can still make in spite of the abuse afflicted on them.
(Patch.com) LAKE COUNTY, IL -- The Lake County Sheriff's Office released the body cam and dash cam videos from a fatal officer-involved shooting that happened in Lakemoor in July. The video shows how Lakemoor Police Department Officer Briana Tedesco, a one-year police veteran, acted quickly when a 38-year-old murder suspect pointed a gun at her, holding the gun down and away from herself and preventing him from shooting her. The videos also show Lakemoor Officer Anthony Loiacano arriving at the scene and running toward Tedesco as the armed man, Kenneth E. Martell, of Meadville, Penn., appeared to try to pull her into his vehicle.
Loiacano aimed his gun at Martell as Tedesco backed away. Loiacano then fired his weapon, fatally shooting Martell.
The Lake County State's Attorney's Office determined Loiacano acted "reasonably and appropriately" when he quickly came to Tedesco's aid at about 5 a.m. on July 27, 2018.
Authorities said Tedesco did not know when she went to check on a suspicious vehicle backed onto a path of a private property near Four Seasons Boulevard and Sullivan Lake Boulevard that she would come face-to-face with a man accused of fatally stabbing an elderly man just days earlier. She approached Martell's car on food and asked for his driver's license, which he said he didn't have, so she then asked for his name, according to the state's attorney's office.
Martell provided Tedesco with a fake name. After checking and finding no record of him, she asked him for any document that would identify him, according to the state's attorney's news release. It was still dark out and Tedesco has a flashlight with and her bodycam footage shows as Martell hands the officer a piece of paper. As she is looking at it, he pulls a gun on her. He then reaches out the window, pointing the handgun directly at her.
In the state's attorney's investigative findings, Tedesco told authorities she believes at one point, Martell pulled the trigger but the gun did not fire. She immediately pulled the gun with her right hand and pushed it away from her. She then dropped the items in her other hand and used both of her hands to push the gun down and back into the driver's vehicle, according to the officer's account.
As she struggled for Martell's gun, she attempted to call on her radio but Martell grabbed her hand to prevent her from calling for help. He then pulled her back toward the car. Tedesco she then saw Martell reaching for a second gun.
At this point, Tedesco was "in fear for her life and believed Martell was about to kill her," according to the investigative findings. Loiacono, a 14-year-old veteran of the department, showed up at the scene as Tedesco's backup and heard the female officer screaming.
He also saw her struggling and said it looked like the driver was trying to pull Tedesco into the car through the driver's window. Tedesco was able to step away from the vehicle at that moment and Martell raised both of his arms. He had a revolver in each hand, Loiacono said in his statement to the state's attorney's office.
Loiacono told Martell to drop his weapons and then pointed his gun at Martell before firing one round at Martell's face. The video footage from Tedesco's patrol car shows Martell's body slump back in the driver's seat.
The officers checked on Martell and "could see that no life-saving efforts could be attempted to save his life," according to the state's attorney's office.
The local officers involved in the fatal shooting learned shortly after the shooting that the man who'd been killed was wanted for stabbing to death an 88-year-old Pennsylvania man just days earlier.
Officers responding to the scene of the officer-involved shooting found two handguns. During a search of a wooded area near the shooting site, authorities also found a large number of weapons including rifles, shotguns, crossbows and ammunition, according to the news release.
They also found court documents, bail bond documentation, and a criminal summons all in the name of Kenneth Martell. The stolen property and identification cards of elderly murder victim Theodore Garver were also found, authorities said.
Authorities said Martell tied, robbed, beat and fatally stabbed 88-year-old Garver in his Beaver Township home in Pennsylvania. After the murder, Martell is accused of abducting other individuals at gunpoint and forcing them to aid Martell in the disposal of Garver's body. Martell eventually dumped the body in a lake near Garver's home.
Toxicology results from Martell revealed he had methamphetamine, amphetamine and marijuana in his system.
Family members later told police Martell abused illegal drugs, including methamphetamine. Martell had made statements to friends and family that "cops were going to kill him over a drug bust" and that he was "not going down without a fight," according to the state's attorney's investigation into the shooting.

We had a chance to catch up with CEO Dre $tone for an interview. Check out what he had to say.
Who are you and What do you do?
My name is Dre $tone I am the CEO of the Above All Empire we are an entertainment industry conglomerate with over 12 companies in 6 countries under our belt and plan on moving into other industries and endeavors in 2019 and beyond.
What made you get into the field that you are in?
That’s actually an interesting story...... I’m the type of person who looks at supply and demand as a scale of optimization the way my businesses came about was exactly that! Every time I needed something done I had to contact someone to provide that service which ultimately took money out of my pocket so I vowed to never pay for anything again with that being said each time I was charged for a service inside my industry it was the last I started with a record label and from there we just took off!
Can you tell more about some of you businesses?
Sure!.......as I was saying before we started with the record label AAMG then we moved into graphic design, management, distribution, publishing, Promotions, Event Planning, Tour Routing, Radio Stations, Canvas Art, Clothing, 4 magazines, event sponsorships, we created a network called The Las Vegas Network for anyone in the industry to be involved in and collaborate and network together for a greater cause, Cannabis production branding marketing and distribution, shoes, we are in the process of creating a new vape company called your highness which will focus mainly on smoking accessories and our new concentrates with our company Above All Extracts, children’s clothing backpacks etc from my daughters new line “Lei Leis World”,
Last but most certainly not least Media! We do anything and everything in the media world but not limited to Music and video production television shows reality shows talk shows music videos photoshoots And more.....
Do you currently have a favorite business?
Yes at the moment media is my passion and my baby it used to be audio and music because at point in my life I had something to say and I wanted the world to hear it now it’s evolved and I have a vision that the world must see!
What was the biggest hurdle you had to overcome when starting your first business?
The biggest hurdle I’d say is paperwork and believing in yourself to take that step u get super excited w an idea but it starts to wither w the months of paperwork it takes to properly setup your business then u have the people who tell you that you’ll never make it it’s a bad idea don’t leave your comfort zone etc the biggest thing to overcome is them once your past it it’s an amazing sensation w a craving of evolution that won’t go away.
Who inspires you the most?
In today’s world this is a highly unpopular opinion but still the truth nonetheless my biggest inspiration in the business world would have to be our presidential leader Mr. Donald Trump he’s successfully branded over 100 companies in his career before wanting to evolve to the highest office known to man if I can be a piece of what that man is I consider my career truly a success.
What is your most current project?
Currently we’re working on our TV talk show “Above All Live” we also have a reality show in the works and my debut album titled “2 Worlds 1 $tone” also we are doing a complete media overhaul for the next year to be able to compete w the largest conglomerates on the market and are opening our first media company in Los Angeles.
What is the number one mistake you think most beginning entrepreneurs make?
Urgency! Most entrepreneurs and artists alike are so ambitious and shoot out of the cannon at full speed without any direction they want what they want and they want it now when in all actuality it’s much more than the early bird getting a worm but more of the tactical bird getting the field a classic tortoise and the hair scenario most take off running full speed in the opposite direction when the finish line was actually within arms reach behind them the whole time.
How do you decide which business to put the most time into?
It honestly comes down to passion and return if I’m truly passionate about one of my companies I’ll work day and night day in and day out to get it right because it’s not about the destination but more so the journey and then we have the return you cannot put all of your time into a business that generates low to no profits u have to prioritize the ones that make the most once u begin to skimp on those your structure takes a hit and can possibly topple your entire corporation itself.
If you could go back in time to the first day you started you business what advice would you give yourself?
Don’t be hasty just because your doing something great w an amazing idea doesn’t mean your maximizing potential instead of doing it kinda correct do everything properly the first time and your brand staff buildings and structure will stand a lifetime.
