A week after his death, and a day after he was laid to rest, two men have been arrested and charged in the shooting death of popular New York disc jockey, DJ Megatron.According to NY1.com, 20-year-old Richard Cromwell, and 21-year-old William Williams were charged Wednesday (April 6) with second-degree murder, criminal possession of a weapon, stolen property and robbery.
At press time, it was unclear where the suspects were being held, and if they were offered bond.
Megatron (real name: Corey McGriff) was shot and killed in the early morning hours of March 27th, just down the street from his Staten Island home.
Initial reports didn't offer details about the incident, but a couple days later, it was revealed that the DJ was buying marijuana and a cigar at around 2 a.m. when he was shot and killed.
When paramedics and police arrived on the scenes, he was pronounced dead.
Megatron built his name as a DJ on WQHT Hot 97 in New York City, and then later parlayed his popularity into a regular spot on BET's "106 & Park."
He leaves behind three children and a wife.
