Murder at Dr. Dre Authors’ Event

Posted by Bossip Staff

Dre

There was mayhem at the Dr. Dre Bio Authors’ after-party this weekend:

“A Renton man was fatally shot and another man critically wounded early Sunday when revelers spilled out of a Tukwila, [Seattle] restaurant after a party for two authors who penned a biography of rapper and hip-hop producer Dr. Dre.

Authors Bruce Williams and Donnell Alexander, who wrote “Rollin’ with Dre: The Unauthorized Account,” were in Tukwila for a reading and book-signing Saturday afternoon at the Southcenter Barnes & Noble bookstore. Later, there was an after-party for Williams and Alexander at Gordon’s on the Green in Tukwila.

The shots were fired in the parking lot outside the restaurant at 2:07 a.m., as the party was breaking up, [a source] said.

Officers discovered two victims: a 24-year-old Renton man, who died from gunshot wounds soon after arriving at Harborview and a 25-year-old Skyway man, who is in critical condition, Murphy said.”

People, we really need to get it together here. Whoever heard of a shooting at a literary event? SMH.

    How hard is it to go to an event and not get into any mess? And a book release! Some people never learn and wonder why blacks are still given a bad name.
    Probably started shooting, whomever he was, because his new shoes got stepped on. Knowing darn well he woulda worn them once and brought them back to the store.
    Bunch of fools.

    This is ridiculous …makes no sense. Can’t believe a book signing party would create ‘voilence’..

    The name of the authors are Bruce Williams and Donnell Alexander. I learned this at the wealthy men and celeb news site seekwealthy dotcom earlier.

    Well if we go by Alicia Keys theory, the government must’ve orchestrated this little bit of mayhem to keep the poor victimized gangsta rappers down. BAD GOVERNMENT! BAD GOVERNMENT!

    First of all, who the fuck is “we”? This shit’s got nothin’ to do with me, mofos.
    Second of all, before a lot ignorant fools jump on that “black people this, black people that” bullshit, nowhere does this article mention the race of the people capped…

    I read their book about Dre, Its kinda interesting knowing Dre only paid his assistant Bruce $300 per week for the whole time he worked for him, Bruce also says Dres wife was a tyrant and Dre makes no moves without her blessing or permission. bruce also states that Suge got his ass beat on two different occasions by the same man who later was found dead in Compton from a shot to the head. he also claims it was suge who had 2pac killed because he had fired Death Rows lawyer as his own personal attorney. Its an informative book go read it.

    It was probably a staged shooting that got out of hand. It was probably only meant to generate interest toward the book. Promotion Promotion Promotion. well, maybe.

  32. gravatar Yourboyeddie

    Ready Set Go how could you say that bro? I know the dudes that got shot. One of them is dead. There is nothing “promotional” about that.

    YALL NEED TO READ!!!!! It says 2:07 am not p.m. I’m from Seattle and went to this AFTERPARTY and this shooting had nothing to do with Dr. Dre or a book. The book signing was earlier in the day.

    the book should have been thrown in the trash like I said, this would of not happened and it does have something to do with him it was his after party, who would of thought they would have to wear a bulletproof vest and a helmet
