The home of a Tony Yayo associate was sprayed with bullets and Molotov cocktails early Tuesday morning (January 8) in the mist of Tony Yayo's child endangerment case.
The victim was Yayo's 32-year-old road manager, Barja Walter, whose home and bulletproof SUV was shot at more than a dozen times before a firebomb was thrown onto the front law, according to the New York Post.
Walter reportedly lives at the residence with his girlfriend and three children, fortunately no one was injured during the attack.
Neighbors told the paper that Walter, who has served time in prison for robbery, has been targeted by gunmen in the past.
"Last year there were shots, but this time, there was gasoline -- this one was worse," a neighbor told the paper. "We shouldn't be afraid to live in our own homes."
Both Walter and Yayo were sought after for questioning in the 2006 murder of Busta Rhymes' body guard, Israel Ramirez, but both refused to co-operate.
Yayo, following the accusations of slapping the teen son of music executive Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond, had his mother's home shot up in a similar incident, all while his sister and two-year-old niece were in the house. Yayo is due in court Thursday (January 10) to face the child endangerment charges, which he has pleaded not guilty to. He is charged with harassment and endangering the welfare of a child, after being arrested in March 2007.
