Sad news to report. A bar fight, involving team members Nicki Minaj’s tour, has evolved in 2 stabbings with 1 person dying.
The argument began around 2:35 a.m. Wednesday inside Che Bar & Grill along Stenton Avenue in Philadelphia’s West Oak Lane neighborhood.
“We believe that both of the victims, as well as the perpetrator, were all inside of this bar and that’s when an argument started,” said Chief Inspector Scott Small.
The argument spread outside the bar where one of the men pulled out a knife, police said.
The tour members, identified by police as Devon “DayDay” Pickett, 29, of the Bronx, New York and Eric Reed, 27, were both stabbed several times. Pickett suffered stab wounds in the torso while Reed suffered stab wounds to his left arm and left side.
Both men were taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center. Pickett died from his injuries at 2:45 a.m. Reed is currently in fair condition and expected to survive.
Police said the suspect was last seen driving off in a gray Buick LeSabre. He is described as a 30-year-old man standing 5-foot-8 and weighing 160 pounds with a full beard. He was last seen wearing a black and grey jacket.
The City of Philadelphia is offering a $20,000 reward for an arrest and conviction.
De’Von was a well-known tour and road manager in the music industry working with Pusha T, Fabolous, Rihanna and others.
