G.Dep Confesses to Murdering a Man

G.Dep, a former Bad Boy Records artist, just confessed to a crime he committed in 1993, 17 years ago. He literally worked into a police station and turned himself him, because of him feeling guilty all those years. That is really crazy, i hear a lot rappers talking about how they "clapped" one person or the other, and they make it feel like it's nothing, and for some one as hard looking as G.Dep to come up and confess about killing someone when he was 17, and knowing he would probably end up in jail, it must mean that the truth had been haunting him all these years and he could no longer take it.

Below is the story in full:

Wednesday night, after years of living with the burden, Coleman, 36, walked into the 25th Precinct and shockingly confessed to the very cold case, the sources said. The career criminal -- once signed to superstar rap mogul Shawn "Diddy" Combs' record label -- was just 18 when he fatally shot a Queens man outside an East Harlem housing project in 1993, police sources said. "I shot and killed someone 17 years ago," Coleman told a cop in the station house. As Coleman continued to reveal more details of the Oct. 19, 1993, murder of John Henkel outside the James Weldon Johnson Houses -- things only the killer would know -- the officer reached out to investigators at the 23rd Precinct, where the crime took place.

Apparently when Trevell Coleman, AKA rapper G-Dep, came clean to police about shooting a man in the chest in 1993, he may not have known that he was confessing to killing a guy. He told the Post in a jailhouse interview, "I was surprised -- for some reason, I really didn't think that he died. When they told me, I was like, 'Oh, I'm not going home after this.'" He has now been charged with murder, and faces life in prison. Coleman says he didn't think much of the shooting at the time, but "started to wonder if all the bad things that happened to me in my life were karma for what I did...I thought that if I turned myself in, it might give me closure." So despite the objections of his mother and his girlfriend, he told the police. Now he says, "The only thing I regret is that I have to leave my kids." (Gothamist)
