Attorney Indicts Remy Ma
Rapper Remy Ma Charged with Attempted Murder of Makeda Barnes-Joseph
Makeda Barnes-Joseph will be speaking 1 p.m., Tuesday, August 7 about the events of July 14, when she was shot twice in the abdomen in an unprovoked act of violence that led to the arrest of the rapper known as Remy Ma.
Ms. Barnes-Joseph will tell her side of the story, comment on the lack of an indictment and thank the men and women who saved her life.
"Makeda has gone through a difficult ordeal," Lauren Raysor, legal counsel to the Barnes-Joseph family, said. "In addition to the shooting and the complications thereof, she has been portrayed negatively and falsely in the media. She is the real victim and this is her chance to set the record straight."
Ms. Rowe-Adams and Jean Corbett-Parker founded Harlem Mothers S.A.V.E. last November to cope with the loss of their children to gun violence. Now they are helping other families, like that of Ms. Barnes-Joseph, whose lives have been altered by gun violence.
The shooting is under investigation by the New York City Police Department and any prosecution will be handled by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office.
