D.C. Police Looking at Other Motives in Cam'ron Shooting
According to the Washingtons Post, D.C. police are investigating a range of possible motives behind the weekend shooting of Cam'ron, saying they are not convinced that he was the victim of an attempted carjacking.
Police have made no arrests in the wounding of Cameron "Cam'ron" Giles, who was shot at least twice as he waited at a traffic signal in his 2006 Lamborghini, authorities said. The shooting took place about 12:15 a.m. Sunday in Northwest Washington.
Investigators said they are examining several other potential motives and have not settled on one theory. They said Cam'ron could have been shot in an attempted execution, targeted in retaliation for a perceived slight or fired upon in an incidence of road rage.
Although investigators have not ruled out carjacking as a possibility, police officials said evidence and witnesses are pointing them in other directions.
According to the police, a burgundy Ford Expedition stopped beside Cam'ron, a man got out of the SUV and, without saying a word, opened fire on Giles, police said.
A pink SUV filled with the rapper's friends was nearby when the shooting started, authorities said.
The actions of the gunman and the proximity of Cam's friends are among the reasons police do not believe carjacking was the motive, investigators said.
"If you are going to carjack a car, you don't shoot first. You try to get the driver out of the car," said one police official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the case is under investigation. "You also wouldn't do that in front of people."
