New evidence exists that suggests that Remy Ma may not have been the
one who shot Makeda Barnes-Joseph. A person claiming to have witnessed
the actual shooting reached out to us and claimed that it was impossible for Remy to have shot Makeda.

A witness, who claims to know both Remy Ma and Makeda, has come forward
with a new account of what happened on that fateful evening. Here’s how
the witnesses described what happened leading up to
the shooting: 

Makeda got out of her car and [she and Remy Ma started]
arguing in the street. Makeda threatened Remy in front of everyone and
demanded that she didn’t take her money. She also threw her purse at
Remy [asking her] to check it – and that’s why Remy had her purse and
emptied the contents. Makeda has had a history of stealing before, so
that’s why Remy came to her first.

And the witness suggested that a number of other
people could have shot Makeda. The witness explained, “Mad people
started walking up to them when they were arguing, including myself.
All I know is …. as soon as I turned, Makeda was on the ground saying
she got shot. But [I know that] Remy never had a pistol in her hand.”

But that’s not all. The close friend claims that Makeda’s not
completely innocent in the whole matter. Remy’s pal explains, “Makeda
is not as sweet as everyone is making her out to be. [She’s] hungry and
broke …Remy even paid Makeda’s rent before when she spent her money
on shopping and her sorry [EXPLETIVE] boyfriend couldn’t help out.” The
pal added, “And [Makeda] has stolen from Remy before and Remy forgave
her the first time.”

It’s not clear how this new witness will impact the charges against
Remy Ma. Currently Remy is charged with attempted murder, assault and
weapons possession. If convicted on all charges, Remy faces more than
25 years in prison.
