Mac Minister Convicted In Double Homicide

by REIGN

TUESDAY JULY 22, 2008

Mac Minister, the Bay Area rapper whose real name is Andre Dow, 37, was convicted along with Jason "Corleone" Mathis on two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of conspiracy to commit murder. The trial lasted less than a week. The victims in the homicide were Anthony “Fat Tone” Watkins and associate Jermaine ‘Cowboy” Atkins.

The murders were in retaliation for the november 2004 murder of Andre “Mac Dre” Hicks, which sparked talks of potential gang warfare between Kansas City and Bay Area artists, prosecuters said. While never charged, Fat Tone was rumored to be behind the Mac Dre killing.

 In May of 2005, Fat Tone and Cowboy were killed in Las Vegas while en route to meet a representative from Snoop Dogg's label that was setup by an unknown party. Their bodies were later found riddled with AK-47 bullets at a construction site outside of Las Vegas. MGM Grand security cameras documented Minister leaving the hotel with two men just hours before the slaying.

Mac Dre's murder has yet to be solved.

Mac Dre's murder is unsolved too? I didn't know that. This shit is ridiculous. How the fuck are BIG's, 2pac's, and JMJ's (and Mac Dre's) murders not solved?? It makes me think that cops aren't even trying. Three of them were at one point the three biggest artists in the country and all three were for the most part killed in public view. It's not like they were sniped from a roof top. Either the cops (hip-hop police) had a hand in the killings or they are purposely not giving a fuck.

i think it might be cuz they rap about murder and selling drugs, and cops arnt for those things, they see it as a win. their not worried bout timberlake or madonna getting into beef and saying they gonna bust they guns and sell some rocks. just my opinion. i meen yeah its their jobs to figure those things out an uphold justic and the law but really dude, come on, they want rappers off the streets...dead or alive i guess.

We can't get mad cause the police ain't helping out finding killers cause what do you expect from pigs? We should be mad that black people keep killing each other so don't get mad at the cops niggga get mad at each other for allowing this nonsense to keep going on in our communities that us men are suppose to keep safe for the children and women.
