Remy Martin Turns herself in on attempted murder charges


Remy Smith aka Remy Martin turned herself into authorites late saturday night after she was sought out by police in connection with a shooting at a trendy Manhatten bar. Acording to the 911 call, apparently there was some sort of an argument that broke out a block away from the "Pizza Bar", which was followed by gun fire. A 22 yr. old woman named Makeda Barnes- Joseph, was found with a gun shot wound a few blocks away by police and reportedly Remy Martin's Dark Blue Escalade was also discovered nearby and had been involved in a single-car crash and abandoned. The owner of the Pizza Bar turned in surveillance tapes of her club to authorites and it was determined that the inceident probably happened a block away. The footage also showed Remy and her friends exiting the establishment and having fun. Those friends were all male and were also all riding in the Escalade at the time when it had been abandoned. Police have already questioned the men involved. Both Martin and Barnes- Joeseph were both attending a 25th birthday party function that night, and some reports say that a fued began inside, then spilled into the street. Officials claim that Remy shot Barnes- Joseph twice in her torso, gunshot wounds that narrowly missed her uterus, kidneys and other vital organs. The two women are apparently mild acquaintences thru another female rapper by the name of Crystal Bolton, but also were childhood friends. Barnes- Joseph had just recently graduated from college, and is now in stable condition at nearby Saint Vincent's Hospital. Martin has pleaded not guilty to the attempted murder charges, and the judge has already approved her bond. She is set to be released some time tonight and to appear in court again on August 14th.
