DJ Megatron, a hip-hop DJ and a regular host on BET’s 106 & Park, was shot and killed on Sunday morning near his home in Staten Island. He was just 32-years-old.
Megatron, real name Corey McGriff, was apparently on his way to buy a cigar at 2am when he was shot and killed. The reason behind the murder is unknown but his family and friends are saying it was just a random shooting.
When police arrived on the scene they found him lying face down with his wallet and cell phone still on his body, which makes it seem like this wasn’t a robbery. He was shot once in the chest.
Keith Robinson, a brother of Megatron’s fiancee, said it was just simply “the wrong place at the wrong time” for Megatron. He leaves three children behind. R.I.P.

Firefighters found the body on Sunday night after being called to put a fire out in a trash bin, when they had the fire gone they discovered the body but the body was so badly burned they couldn’t identify who it was.
Lt. Neal Cuevas, a spokesman for the North Miami Police, said “It’s so horrific. They’d have to be a monster. It’s a dastardly act, It’s the most heinous thing that a person can do to another person. It was just total, total, disfigurement, You couldn’t even tell that it was a woman or a man or even what race. This was a brutal, horrible, disgusting murder, and this monster or these monsters need to be brought to justice.”
After running dental tests on the body it was reveled that the body belonged to the 26-year-old model from Michigan. She was on vacation in Miami with her boyfriend, who has not been named. He is a person of interest but not a suspect according to Cuevas. A lawyer for her boyfriend said that he is devastated and want’s to the crime to be solved.
The couple were in Miami to celebrate the new year, they went out on Saturday night and at around 7 a.m. on Sunday they got into an argument which led to her boyfriend being thrown out of the club while she stayed behind. When she didn’t return to the hotel on Monday her boyfriend contacted police, he also hired a private investigator, called hospitals and jails in hopes that he could find her.
Kelly Farris, the models sister, said “She loved life, she was full of life, she went on a lot of vacations. She was a great person. I couldn’t imagine anything like this happening, you know, we can’t even give her an open casket. We can’t even see her again. She did not deserve to die in this way, I can’t see myself going back to work, I can’t see myself living a normal life until I know whoever did this pays for it.”
This is terrible, I can’t even imagine what her family must be going through, Paula Sladewski appeared in a 2003 Playboy video.

Celebrity Fashion Watcher linked with TGIF HOT Gossip Links..!! Nicolas Cage Reporting for Duty
Police are investigating the slaying of a longtime radio reporter who was found in his apartment bound with duct tape and stabbed to death.
An autopsy found that George Weber, 47, died of repeated stab wounds to the head, neck, torso and arms. Police believe he was killed Friday, but his body was found Sunday after his boss reported him missing.
New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said investigators were searching for the murder weapon, working to re-create Weber’s last moves and following up on one witness report that a person was seen pacing Friday night outside the Brooklyn brownstone where Weber lived. The person was later let into the building.
“They are looking to see if there is any information to indicate that he may have known the individual responsible for his death,” Browne said.
The New York Daily News reported that police were looking into the possibility that Weber had been killed by a male date.
Weber worked for WABC for 12 years as the on-air reporter for popular shows like “Curtis and Kuby.” The station let him go amid programming changes last year, and he had since worked as a freelancer for ABC News Radio, the national network. His last newscast was on March 15; in his last blog entry, posted Friday, he talked about working to rid his apartment of bedbugs.
Police found Weber’s body in the bedroom, bound at the ankles with duct tape. Water was left running in a sink and a tub, possibly to clean up the crime scene, police said.
The apartment appeared to be ransacked, but it didn’t look like anything was taken, Browne said.
Weber was a veteran radio newsman who worked at stations including KGO in San Francisco and KTLK and KMPC in Los Angeles before coming to New York.

The body of a young boy was found inside a 1994 white Chevy Suburban on Chicago’s West Side this morning. The medical examiner has not yet confirmed if the child is Jennifer Hudson’s nephew, Julian King, but it’s pretty certain this it’s him.
The SUV was owned by Jennifer’s brother, Jason. Jason was murdered on Friday, the same day 7-year-old Julian was reported missing.
The Cook County medical examiner’s office has sent investigators to the scene in the 1300 block of South Kolin Avenue where the boy was found around 8 a.m., an office spokesman said. The child had not been identified.
A Chicago police spokesman released no information about the discovery.
An Amber Alert was issued Friday after Julian was reported missing after a family member found his grandmother and uncle shot to death inside the family’s home in the 7000 block of South Yale Avenue.
Missing from the home was Jennifer Hudson’s brother’s 1994 white Chevrolet Suburban with Illinois license plate X584859. Live TV shots showed a white Chevrolet Suburban being investigated parked along Kolin this morning.
Truly tragic, our hearts go out to the Hudson family.
