Nathaniel Glover, AKA Kidd Creole from Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, has just been found guilty of manslaughter in the first degree by a New York Supreme Court jury.
In 2017, the trailblazing rapper was arrested and indicted after stabbing an unhoused man to death. The victim was 55-year-old John Jolly and was a stranger to Glover.
“Nathaniel Glover committed a shocking act of violence,” said District Attorney Bragg in a statement. “This conviction makes clear my office will hold people who commit violent crime accountable to the full extent of the law. I thank the members of the jury for their attention to this case and careful deliberation. I also applaud our prosecutors, whose diligence and tireless effort to ensure justice led to this conviction. We will continue to use every tool at our disposal to deliver the safe streets and communities that New Yorkers deserve.”
Glover is expected to be sentenced on May 4.
