The set where Busta Rhymes was shooting a new video was lit up with gunshots early Sunday morning. The shooting, which was in the relatively safe Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, NY, left 29-year-old Israel Ramirez dead.
While Busta was in the studio at the time, nearly 200 people were gathered outside of the Kiss the Cactus studio for the shoot when 14 shots were fired.
According to reports, the shots were fired from an AK-47.
Israel Ramirez, who was on set as bodyguard, was pronounced dead shortly after receiving a single shot to the chest.

There is no word yet as to whether the shooting has a connection to Busta, but I’m sure the mainstream media will refer to him as a “gangsta rapper.”
Busta’s 7th album The Big Bang is due out on Aftermath/Interscope this year.
