Earle Barranco, the suspect in the Good Stuff Diner murder last month who prefers his moneybag necklaces to be diamond-studded, was arrested earlier this week after he popped up on a JumboTron at a Charlotte Bobcats game. His clear inability to keep a low profile caught up with him, and he now faces extradition to NY to stand trial for the murder of Corey Scott, aka "Young Classik." Up till now, it's been unclear as to what the motive behind the murder was; but it seems that Barranco and Scott were partners-in-crime who had a serious falling out. more ›

Yesterday, there was a bit of confusion as to just how suspect Earle (or Earl) Barranco was arrested for the fatal shooting of Corey Scott at the Good Stuff Diner on October 23rd. One source said he was in a VIP room at the Charlotte Bobcats game on Saturday. Another said he was walking into the arena when he was peacefully arrested. But now the Daily News reports that cops spotted him on the JumboTron wearing the same bling he had on the night of the shooting. When he showed up in the same arena wearing the same bling days later, they arrested him. Does nobody remember what happened to Frank Lucas? more ›

Get shut out of the big inaugural party?
