American rapper, Benny The Butcher was shot
during an attempted robbery in Houston.
The incident occurred on Saturday evening
November 14, at a Walmart located on South
Rice Avenue.
Houston police said the rapper, whose real
name is Jeremie Pennick, 35, was at the
Walmart with friends when five armed men
approached the group and demanded some of
their belongings. When Pennick and his friend
did not remove their chains quickly enough,
one of the men shot Pennick in the leg.
Pennick was transported to an area hospital
with a non-life-threatening injury and is
expected to recover.
