News First Black Prez Conscious, Talking With Friends
Posted by Jonah Spangenthal-Lee on Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 4:34 PM
Seattle MC Avery Turner (AKA First Black Prez)—one of the men injured in the Chop Suey shooting—is apparently conscious and talking with friends at Harborview.
Turner was shot in the chest during a hiphop show Sunday morning and was rushed to the hospital with life threatening injuries. Friends say Turner had been on a respirator since Sunday.
Another man, James Jones (known as Trama) was shot in the leg and shoulder. A third victim, Joseph Ryan—who performed under the name 29-E—was killed in the shooting.
A benefit show for the victims of the shooting is tentatively scheduled for next month.
