However, his growing career and fame got stained by the murder charge he is currently facing.
When was Kay Flock Arrested?
The rapper was arrested on December 23, 2021, for allegedly shooting a man after a dispute outside a Harlem, New York barbershop. The incident happened 7 days before he turned himself in to the New York Police Department.
Having learned that he was the prime suspect in the Harlem murder case, Kay Flock decided to self-surrender himself to the authorities. From then to this date, the rapper has been behind bars waiting for the outcome of his case.
Kay Flock Faces Criminal Charges of First Degree Murder
Kay Flock’s fast-rising reputation got hung up in the balance because of the recent misfortune that has paused his musical career. The rapper’s current legal charges are the last any upcoming rapper on his pace will wish to be roped in.
Although his story looks a bit complicated, as different sources provided different reasons for his charges, one fact in all this is that the rapper was arrested for allegedly killing a 24-year-old man on December 16, 2021. According to the reports, he was arrested and is facing murder charges after shooting a man outside the Harlem Barber Shop.
It was disclosed that the deceased victim, Hernandez, was in a barber shop at W.151st St, Amsterdam Avenue, a few minutes before 10 am to get a haircut. When Kay Flock stepped in and inquired about what Hernandez was looking at. This resulted in an argument that led to Hernandez stepping out of the barber’s shop to confront Kay Flock.
They further disclosed that the police confirmed that Kay Flock decided to walk away but turned, pulled out a gun, and shot at Hernandez on his neck and back. Hernandez was rushed to Mt. Sinai Morningside hospital, but unfortunately, he couldn’t make it alive. The case subsequently became complicated as the deceased family disclosed that their son’s his killing was a case of mistaken identity, also stressing that Hernandez didn’t know the gunman.
The killing, according to police sources, is believed to be gang-related, as it was disclosed that Hernandez was a member of one of the Bronx-based Thirdside gangs. The family is claiming that Hernandez was a victim of mistaken identity, as he was in the wrong place and at the wrong time. The surveillance video released on Instagram showed that the death of Hernandez may be a result of gang activity, as reported by the NYPD.
However, there are high hopes that the security footage will help bring out the hidden truth behind the shooting, and probably exonerate Kay flocks from the crime.
