Q Money Found Guilty of Murder in 2019 Shooting Death Case
Ohio rapper, Q Money has been found guilty of murder in the 2019 shooting death of Calvin Alexander Chappell.
As reported by XXL, the DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office confirmed that a 12-person jury found Q Money, born Qamar Akee Williams, guilty of two counts of felony murder, one count of malice murder, one count of aggravated assault, one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and one count of possession of a firearm during commission of a felony on Sept. 23.
The charges stem from an incident on April 15, 2019, in which the Cleveland, Ohio rapper shot Calvin Alexander Chappell, who was also an aspiring rapper, inside a home in Decatur, Ga. Q Money is scheduled to be sentenced next week.
Q Money’s legal saga began on April 15, 2019, when Atlanta police announced they were looking for the “Streetz Baby” rhymer in connection to the murder of Chappell.
According to eyewitnesses, Q Money was in the living room of the home standing over the deceased victim, who had been shot in the side of the head.
A roommate saw the shooting and ran to wake the victim’s cousin. The pair then took the gun away from Q and forced him out of the house and locked the door.
When police arrived at the scene, they found several shell casings and firearms throughout the residence. Authorities believed that Q Money and the victim were friends as they were both up-and-coming rappers from Ohio.
Apparently, Chappell was rooming with his cousin for a few days before he was killed.
