Melvin Vernell Jr. and Marcus Roach appeared in court late last week, where they pleaded guilty to battery charges in relation to the shooting of local artist Bruce “Beelow” Moore. Allhiphop reports:
The two men were accused of shooting Beelow in the face on July 4, 2005, after they accused the rapper of bootlegging records released by Trill Entertainment.
Last week, a judge sentenced both men to two years of probation for their role in the shooting, which occurred in front of Beelow’s record store, Shop Smart Music and Fashions.
Vernell and Roach were originally charged with attempted murder, but those charges were dismissed, because the East Baton Rouge Sheriff Department failed to prosecute the pair in a reasonable amount of time.
Prosecutors ultimately dismissed the attempted murder charges against the men in March of 2010.
