RAPPER SHYHEIM SURRENDERS TO POLICE IN NEW YEAR'S DAY HIT AND RUN CASE

SHYHEIM - WU-TANG CLAN AFFILIATE

Shyheim, an affiliate of Wu Tang, has turned himself into police and now stands accused in a New Year’s Day hit and run that resulted in the death of a 29-year-old man.

He will likely face a charge of leaving the scene of a fatal accident, a class D felony, according to a report by the Staten Island Advance.

On January 1, Felipe Avila, a bakery worker, was going to his job in Staten Island when he was struck by a car that Shyheim was driving. 

Reports say Shyheim didn’t stop at a stop sign, causing the collision. Police say the 36-year-old rapper then ran after the accident, which resulted in Avila’s death.
