The female rapper says that after being beaten in the street by her manager and another man, she ran for her life.
A Florida-based female rapper is accused of murder when it is captured on camera that she shot and killed her manager, who was later struck by a car.
Emcee Kevhani Camilla Hicks, 27, also known by her stage name Key Vhani, is reportedly filmed being beaten in the street by her manager and his unidentified male friend before she takes out her pistol and kills the manager, according to NBC 6 South Florida.
The disturbing video shows Hicks and the manager getting out of a white Lexus and engaging in a heated argument. Not long after, they both start punching each other before the other male got out of the car and commenced to beating Hicks. In a clip released by NBC Miami also shows the two men pick her up and throw Hicks down on the ground and pin her there.
After the physical altercation stopped, Hicks starts walking away from the scene but then pulls a gun out of a bag she is carrying and begins firing. The manager panicked and tried to scurry away but was struck by multiple bullets and fell to the ground. The male with the manager jumped into the Lexus and sped off but ran over the manager in the process.
The manager was attended to by first responders but was pronounced dead at a local hospital. Hicks, who police stated suffered blunt-force injuries, was taken to a local hospital for treatment where she claimed she was acting in self-defense when she shot the manager.
“The defendant stated she was in fear due to the victim’s size and upon hearing the victim yell ‘I’ll kill you with one hit,’ ” according to the police report that was obtained by NBC Miami.
The female rapper was taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder. The television stations report that Hicks is expected to be released after a judge granted her a $50K bond and placed he on house arrest during a recent hearing.
Hicks has a GoFundMe set up by an apparent family member who claims the two guys in the video have "assaulted her multiple times" while she waits for the next steps in the legal process to begin.
