City Charges Filed In Chop Suey Shooting

Posted by Jonah Spangenthal-Lee on Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 5:40 PM

King County Prosecutors have filed murder and assault charges against 18-year-old Carlos Bernardez for his alleged role in a shooting at Chop Suey early Sunday morning.

Bernardez is accused of fatally shooting local MC Joseph Ryan (AKA 29-E) and wounding Avery Turner (1st Black Prez).

It appears prosecutors have not charged anyone for the attack on James Jones (known as Trama), the apparent target of Sunday's shooting.

Prosecutors also filed drug charges against 25-year-old Roger LaBranche after, court documents say say, police found a back pack filled with 45 grams of cocaine, nearly 300 ecstasy pills, 81 grams of marijuana, a handgun and $7,000 cash in his car—a rented Pontiac Grand Prix—parked outside of Chop Suey.

More coverage of the shooting can be found here and here.

Tips for gangbangers no. 334:

Remember, when going to a club to shoot some one, leave your drugs and yoru cash back at home!

Tip for gangbangers no. 335

Don't leave the gun in the car with the drugs and cash listed in tip #334.

Oh wait does that mean that the gun wasn't in the club?
