Guilty As Charged

Rapper Mac Minister has been found guilty in the double murders of Anthony “Fat Tone” Watkins and associate Jermaine ‘Cowboy” Atkins in 2005:

Minister, real name Andre Dow and age 37, was convicted along with his friend Jason “Corleone” Mathis of two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of conspiracy to commit murder. The trial lasted less than a week.

Prosecutors claimed that Minister committed the crime in retaliation for the November 2004 murder of Andre “Mac Dre” Hicks, which sparked whisperings of potential gang warfare between Kansas City and Bay Area artists. While never charged, Fat Tone was rumored to be behind the Mac Dre killing.

In May 2005, Fat Tone and Cowboy were ambushed in Las Vegas, arriving there based on a promise by an unspecified party to meet a representative for Snoop Dogg’s label.

Their bodies were later found riddled with AK-47 bullets at a construction site outside of Las Vegas. MGM Grand security cameras documented Minister leaving the hotel with two men just hours before the slaying.

Police immediately sought to question him, but the veteran rapper went on the lam, prompting a 10 month manhunt. The case was featured prominently on America’s Most Wanted before Mac’s capture on March 2, 2006. Mac Dre’s 2004 slaying remains officially unsolved.

With a trial lasting less than a week, it’s safe to say that this was an open and shut case. These cats are looking at some serious jail time. SMH.

  • http://www.yahoo.com mzprettylady

    I’m from the Bay and if your not you won’t understand how much Mac Dre was loved and respected just come to the club here and watch what happens when they play his music!!!! Then you’ll understand why he was a boss dipped in sauce, as he would say! When he died a part of the Bay died with him… R.I.P. Mac Dre it’s so sad such a beautiful life was taken away because of jealousy…. If Fat Tone did have something to do with his death then… what comes around goes right back around… live by the gun die by the gun… but at the end of the day its sad that these two family have been torn apart for stupidity… Men please wake up! GOD bless the families those are the people that hurt the most… RIP MAC DRE & FAT TONE

  • kenya

    okay number one…the dudes that killed mac dre couldn’t possibly have believed that those fools in the town were going to let this shyt ride, and the bad part about it is that they didn’t even have to go looking for them…they walked right into thier trap. and as for this guy, you never want to do anything illegal in vegas…there’s cameras everywhere!

  • Yummy

    I grew up with this dude..He was always a cool person.Not sure why he turned into a killer. Life wasted on both sides…

  • CriticXtreme::

    I only wish brothers would focus more on getting on the charts stacking units and platinum records instead of this. On one hand it’s wrong but on other hand nobody but this dude knows the intel that lead to avenging Mac Dre’s unfortunate death. . …. But the one thing he’s proven at the street level is that he’s a dedicated and loyal ride and die soldier…….In this day and age, there aren’t many left…

  • $m♥K.E.Y.

    who??

  • moca81

    MAC DRE HAD A DIE HARD FAN BASE FROM EVERYWHERE CALI AND KANSAS CITY WERE HIS FAVORITE SO WHEN HE DIED WE WERE ALL HURT. FAT TONE WAS A LOCAL RAPPER AND IN HIS CD BEFORE HIS VERY LAST ONE HE SAID QUOTE SAID “THERE BE NO MORE THIZZ DANCE BECAUSE I KILLED THE THIZZ MAN”!!!!SO FAT TONE SIGNED HIS DEATH CERTIFICATE RIGHT THERE.

  • TJH n KC

    That ugly ass n i g g a in jail now, and what for? Over another n i g g a. He going to spend the rest of his life in jail for the love of another n i g g a. MacDre wasn’t his brother, cousin, uncle, daughter, mother, sister or wife.

    I’m sorry, I still can’t grasp this. Let me try and get this straight. This dude is spending the rest of his natural life behind bars because he wanted to avenge the death of another n i g g a. Mind boggling, I don’t give a f u c k who MackDre was, I’m not giving up my life to avenge the death of a dead n i g g a!

    All I can say is WOW!

    You reap what you sow, can’t you all see, it’s called Karma. What you do will catch up with your sooner or later. Promise!

    RIP Fat Tone
