Suspect Arrested In Big L Killing
Police have apprehended a suspect in connection with
the murder of underground Harlem MC Big L (Lamont
Coleman). According to New York Police Officer Theresa
Farello, Gerard Woodley, 29, was arrested 10:20 a.m.
Thursday in a Bronx apartment and charged with second-
degree murder. "The suspect had an ongoing dispute with
Coleman's brother," Officer Farello told BLAZE
Online. Gerard, who also is a native of Harlem, is
wanted on a federal warrant for drug trafficking. He will
be arraigned in a Manhattan Criminal Court and held
without bail. As we last reported, Big L, a member of
the Bronx hip hop crew Diggin' in the Crates, (a group
of MCs and producers that include Fat Joe, Lord
Finesse, Diamond D and Showbiz and A.G.), was
gunned down February 15 near his home in Harlem,
NY. An upcoming album by DITC, will posthumously
feature Big L on several songs.
