I sent a message to The Detroit News to the reporter who recently wrote an article on Mr. Mario Ethridge claiming self defense in shooting Proof. I am ANGRY and I want all to know what I wrote in hopes that it will be published in his next article.
Mr. Ramirez ([email protected]), I read your article and frankly I think it needs to be projected that Mr. Ethridge did NOT shoot to stop others and that is being supported by Proof's autopsy report. 3 shots to the head and in the chest is MURDER! Besides, his cousin was shot....MOTIVE! He was out to shoot and KILL. Why is it that no one is looking at this situation? Some of Detroit's finest are in some way related to the suspect and instead of giving him advice to turn himself in they should have arrested him and booked him on first degree MURDER. No one said he had to shoot Deshaun in the head or the chest. In my opinion if he was shooting in self defense or even to prevent others from being injured, maming him in the leg or perhaps in his upper extremeties would prove a point. (No shooting would have been better). Let it be known that Ethridge was out for revenge. Proof shot his cousin... MOTIVE! He was already at the club, witnessing his cousin and Proof in an altercation that subsequently led to gunfire between the 2 and that to me is OPPORTUNITY. Concealing a weapon also suggests INTENT!!! (To sum it all up this was OVERKILL). The judge needs to see that! This is what is going to cause all the controversary. I think the prosecution needs to reinterview witnesses, reinvestigate the crime scene, and most importantly they need to "sweat" Mr. Ethridge. Any one can claim self defense but he wasn't the one who was being shot at. Why didn't the 3C's night club do a weapons check? This might not have happened if they took that extra precaution. MOTIVE and OPPORTUNITY is warranted. People hear me out: especially you EM. This was MURDER!!!!! I just can't fathom these charges (posession of a concealed firearm and discharging a firearm in a public-occupied place) Hell that happens all the time and not just in Detroit but all over. This is an OUTRAGE. Again, MOTIVE, OPPORTUNITY and INTENT is warranted. I am a native of Detroit and no matter what people say I love my city and if I know my city and my people, this won't end here...

Reply to this if any of you agree with me. Thanks.
If any of you would like to write to the reporter I have inserted his email address ([email protected]) I don't think Proof will RIP as long as justice hasn't been served. He was my FRIEND. I want JUSTICE for my friend....think about this: where is Notorious Big's killer at? Running the streets no doubt and what about Tupac's killer? Same thing...do we want Proof's killer running the streets as well?
