Two Men Arrested In DJ Megatron Murder Case

By Allen Starbury

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.

By Randall Stevens, Published 03/30/2011

Retired NBA star and broadcaster, Jalen Rose, was arrested for driving under the influence in Michigan earlier this month.

According to TMZ, the 38-year-old baller was driving along an icy roadway on March 11 when he lost control of his vehicle and crashed.

Cops responded to the scene, and when they got there, Rose agreed to undergo voluntary roadside sobriety tests.

Although he was later transported to a nearby facility for chemical testing, the results have yet to be released.
However, Rose was eventually arrested for driving under the influence.

Rose was in Detroit for the opening of the Jalen Rose Leadership Academy, a charter school designed to provide under-privileged youth with college prep experience.

He has not commented on the incident, but his attorney, Keith Davidson, told TMZ: "We look forward to working with the authorities in Michigan and addressing these matters in court, not in the press. We have no comment at this time."
