It's hard to imagine some religious organization standing against and winning a confrontation against the NYPD. The mayor and police commissioner didn't even attend the dead cop's funeral. It was a different NYPD, different NOI, and different New York back then.


I read that the call they answered from the mosque was a false and that they suspect that members of the black liberation army set it up. Also the alleged killer dupree x is doing a 15 year bid in north carolina for drug trafficking. Also when they were gonna rename the street after the dead cop but the nypd told the officer that wanted to do it that he needed the blessing of the local muslim leaders.

In Philly the Muslims who controlled Graterford and run so much of black Philadelphia crime are not Nation of Islam anymore. They are Sunni and less disciplined and more out of control.

There was that imam that was connected up with city government and drug traffickers,Is he out of prison yet?

Also I'm sure one of kaboni savages friends and associates was a guy called dawud bey, they were a pretty notorious family around south philly.

2 women slain; 1 was a witness
8 months in protection program

About eight months ago, Chante Wright, 23, entered the federal Witness Protection Program so she could testify about a 2000 murk related to a rapper's new contract.

Despite [rip] threats, she couldn't stay away from the old South Philly neighborhood, especially after she learned her beloved grandmother was dying in North Philadelphia.

Within seven hours of arriving here from Jacksonville, Fla., on Friday, Wright, whose name had been changed to Chante Jackson, was dead.

She was the second witness to be k#lled who was to testify against Hakeem Bey, 26, charged with k#lling Moses Williams in 2000. Bey is being held on murk charges at the Curran Fromhold Correctional Facility on State Road for a mid-March trial.

"I can't say if she got murked because she was a witness," said a source familiar with Bey's upcoming murk trial.

Bey had been rearrested, in part, because Wright was willing to testify, according to another source, familiar with her testimony.

At 2 a.m. on Saturday, Wright was fatally shot numerous times in her torso on Patton Street near Tasker, only seven blocks from where Bey and his clan claim their drug turf.

Bey is the nephew of Dawud Bey, who once ruled the violent, drug-infested South Philadelphia neighborhood, south and west of Broad and Tasker streets.

Relatives and friends took over after Dawud Bey was convicted of federal drug charges in 2006 with the notorious drug trafficker Kaboni Savage, who vowed to k#ll babies, witnesses and cops.

According to Homicide Sgt. Charles Coan, Wright was found on the sidewalk beside the car she had driven. Sitting in the pa##enger seat was Octavia Green, 23, of Lambert Street near York, who was also shot multiple times in the torso.

Paramedics pronounced Wright dead at 2:13 a.m. and Green died at 2:15 a.m.

"Don't come back to Philadelphia," she was warned by law-enforcement sources familiar with [rip] threats against her.

But Wright had been calling home on her cell phone, and wanted to visit her gravely ill grandmother before she pa##ed away, according to a source close to the investigation.

Meantime, officials in the Witness Protection Program discovered the prohibited calls and recently kicked her out of the program, the source added. But she remained in Jacksonville, where she was relocated.

In the summer of 2000, friends were celebrating the luck of a pal from the neighborhood who had made it big. The up-and-coming rapper, whose name is being withheld out of safety concerns, had just signed a recording contract with CBS Records.

To promote its new star, CBS bought a van, covered it with a silkscreen image of the young rap star, and drove it through South Philadelphia, said a source close to the investigation.

When the van reached 22nd and Tasker streets — a neighborhood then controlled by convicted drug dealer Dawud Bey and his gang, who were aligned with rapper Beanie Sigel — gunmen shot up the van, the source said.

The Bey gang wanted to control rappers from the area, but Wright's friend was from a rival neighborhood, which couldn't be controlled, according to police a##igned to a homicide task force to combat the rising number of unsolved murks then.

Bey is in federal prison in Schuylkill County, 46 miles north of Harrisburg. Sigel, whose real name is Dwight Grant, is in custody in a federal community corrections facility at 2nd and Chestnut streets for a probation violation.

The night of the big celebration, Wright, the rapper and their friends jumped into two cars and headed to Titan Street near 23rd, according to police reports.

Wright was sitting in the rear of the second car when Hakeem Bey allegedly fired into the car. Moses Williams, in his early 20s, was sitting in the front pa##enger seat and was hit multiple times, according to investigators.

Williams died later that night.

That night, Wright told homicide detectives that Hakeem Bey was the alleged shooter, and "never changed from day one," said one of the investigators.

But police were concerned about taking a 15-year-old witness, who lived in the neighborhood, to trial.

Eventually, detectives found another witness, Omar Morris, then in his 40s, who was standing on 23rd Street just north of Titan and provided authorities with details of the murk.

Early Christmas morning, Morris was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds in the area of 17th and Master streets. The night before, he had been asked to go for a ride and was not seen afterward, according to authorities.

About 2004, Hakeem Bey was arrested on murk charges. Shortly before the trial, a decision was made not to go forward out of concern for the safety of certain witnesses, said a source familiar with the trial.

Last year, Bey was rearrested for the Williams murk. Wright agreed to testify, and federal authorities promised to sponsor her and her 4-year-old son in the Witness Protection Program.

"I feel terrible about it," said another investigator.

"This wouldn't have happened if she didn't come home," said another source. "I hope they get these bastards who did this. She was a really nice girl." *
