Detectives...released photographs of Tineesha Howard, 22, who also is known as Yenesis Alfonzo...she can be seen posing several times with the shooting suspect, Ammar Harris...with big smiles across their faces. Howard...has a lengthy arrest record on charges of solicitation for prostitution, grand larceny trick rolling, possession of a stolen vehicle and trespassing, said...a spokesman with the Metropolitan Police Department. She was last seen with Harris and could still be with him...
Asmayit "May" Hagos, 22, the girlfriend who had a baby with the rapper two months ago, said Cherry Jr. "never exchanged a word" with Harris. At least according to his close friends, he didn't, she said. She...called a press conference Tuesday and denied rumors that Cherry Jr. was a pimp and that she was his prostitute. "He never controlled me," she said. She met Cherry Jr. three years ago at a Las Vegas club where he was performing...Hagos has an arrest record that includes solicitation for prostitution, grand larceny trick rolling, and trespassing...(Her) most recent arrest on prostitution charges came a year ago in Houston.
Where did he get the money to afford the Maserati and the expensive pair of apartments he lived in at the Meridian just off the Strip and in Newport Lofts in downtown Las Vegas? His father, Kenneth Cherry Sr...said the family is "very wealthy" on his wife's side from real estate investments. He said his son's great-grandmother lives on Telegraph Hill, a posh area of San Francisco. (S)he doesn't know what's going on, he said. "She's saying, 'Where's my little Kenny?'"...

Real estate investments -- a perfect way to launder pimp money. If great-grandma doesn't know what's going on, she probably doesn't know if she was financing him. And if he could afford two high-rent homes in Las Vegas, he could certainly have afforded one in Los Angeles, a far more logical place from which to have operated his musical hip-hop career.

When I heard about the crash, I said it was probably a rapper; I was thinking back on this news:

The temptation at this stage will be to blame the *real* victim here: the precious gun.
