Investigators are looking into a connection between the shooting of Fabolous
and an NBA player having his chain robbed minutes before the incident, police
said.

Reports have surfaced that Sebastian Telfair, a point guard
for the Boston Celtics, was stripped of his $64,000 chain minutes before Fab
was shot in front of Sean "Diddy" Combs‘ Justin’s
Restaurant in New York City (October 17). Initial reports had Fab being shot
in the leg following an altercation in front of the restaurant. Detectives apparently
learned of the robbery while probing Fab’s shooting. A dozen men, including
the Brooklyn rapper, were brought into the 13th precinct for lineups.

Ed Hayes, Telfair’s attorney, told ABC’s Eyewitness News that his client was
"being cooperative." Telfair, the cousin of New York Knicks guard
Stephon Marbury, first gained national prominence as a high school hoop star
in Brooklyn, NY. "He’s a witness and nobody suspects him of anything,"
Hayes told Eyewitness. "He’s a lovely young man."

Fab is set to be arraigned on weapon charges in Lower Manhattan, NY today.
According to investigators, Rascharm Davis, 29, Percell German, 23 and Kevin
Bass, 18, are also scheduled to appear in court today.
