Investigation into alleged threat to rapper 50 Cent by 72nd Precinct’s top cop dropped by NYPD
The NYPD has closed its case on 72nd Precinct Commanding Officer Deputy Inspector Emmanuel Gonzalez regarding rapper Curtis Jackson, aka 50 Cent.
The New York Daily News reported this past February that Gonzalez told officers during roll call in June of 2018 to “shoot him on sight,” referring to Jackson, if they saw the rapper at an NYPD boxing charity event held in the Bronx last summer.
“The inspector just said that at roll call,” a source told the Daily News. “I’m like, WTF.” According to the paper, Gonzalez has laughed the comment off as a “bad joke.”
