    Damn, I wasn't expecting to see this headline attached to Chaka's name at all. I've only heard nothing but positive things about him over the years.

    I guess you never really know what goes on with people behind closed doors.

    As reported at the time, several men got into an argument around 11:35 p.m. local time and several shots were fired, which struck Chaka, injured another and killed 23-year-old Artez Benton of Scottdale.

    It was initially thought Chaka Zulu fired in self-defense. On June 30, TMZ reported multiple sources who’ve viewed the surveillance footage recorded outside the APT 4B restaurant said it looked like he was trying to prevent himself from getting killed.

    Chaka, his daughter and another friend were leaving an event when he was approached by another man in the parking lot. In the video, Chaka and the other man started to exchange words until the conversation appeared to grow more aggressive. Simultaneously, another man had his hand on his waistband like he was getting ready to pull out a weapon.

    A female bystander tried to push the man away from Chaka, but he bumped into the music executive with his chest, prompting Chaka to grab him by the collar. Then, a group of about three of four other men, who’d been watching the whole event unfold, knocked Chaka to the ground with a punch and proceeded to kick him.

    One of them eventually produced a gun and fired at least two shots. Consequently, Chaka drew his own weapon and fired at least one shot in return. Police believe a bullet from Chaka’s gun is what killed Benton.

    This doesn’t read well.

    Was “Benton” a bystander or was he helping Jump Shaka?

    Cause there’s two ways this can go, either the DA is trying to make a weak ass statement or Shaka made a real mistake and will get a Manslaughter charge.

    The reason they are charging him is because Benton was shot in the back. Benton was one of a group of four stomping and jumping him. What probably happened is that Chaka Zulu pulled his gun and Benton turned around to run away. Which is why they are bringing a murder charge.

    Oh okay, makes sense.

    A good lawyer can get him off easily in this situation.
