The murder trial of a man accused of shooting Dip Set member Freaky Zeeky started yesterday (September 27th), but not without a bit of drama.
Chauncy Dillon is on trial for allegedly shooting Freaky Zeeky and wounding him, while a second man, Eric Mangrum was killed in an early morning shootout.
The prosecutions lead witness in the case, Shania Davis, took the stand, but couldn’t remember details about the shooting.
When she had a hard time recalling any details surrounding the April shooting, prosecutors confronted Davis with her police statement from last year.
In her police statement, Davis alleges Dillon admitted to opening fire as they escaped from the scene of the shooting via the West Side Highway.
Despite being confronted with her own statement, Davis still could not recall any of the details from the evening, leading the judge to declare her a hostile witness.
Dillon denies shooting Freaky Zeeky and claims he was trying to break up a fight. Prosecutors said they will produce four witnesses to the altercation who claim otherwise.
John Mingo and Herndon Williams are facing murder charges as well, but the two men will be tried separately.
The entire incident started when Zeeky and Mangrum were involved in a fender bender in Manhattan. According to reports, the two parties could not come to a resolution in regards to the damage and the incident escalated into a shootout.
Prosecutors allege that Dillon, Mingo and Williams’s real motive was to rob the rapper of his jewels.
Zeeky, who is serving time in prison on unrelated charges, is expected to take the stand today.
Shortly after the shooting, Zeeky talked about the accident that fateful night.
“I was like you know what I'ma go and see Jim [Jones] and before I could even park somebody hit the car,” Freaky Zeeky told AllHipHop.com. “The only thing on my mind is how much of a dent is in my car. So we got out to converse and talk…Next thing I know, a gun is in my face now and the dude got his hand wrapped around my chain saying give me the motherf*cking chain. So I'm like, I'm shocked while all of this is going on. I'm like "aww man." I don't know what made me say no but I said nope and I just went with my instincts, which was to grab him and stuff and from there it was all prayers.”
Zeeky said that in addition to being shot, the assailants ran him over, dragged him and ran him into a building.
“It was a blessing that I made it out alive,” Zeeky said. “Unfortunately my friend Eric didn't. He was a good friend of mine who I was actually giving a position to that night. It was his daughter’s birthday.”
