Master P To Cover Costs For Funeral Of Slain 12-Year Old ? (Article+Video)

#AMPtv got the word that according to WLKY.com that Master P will cover expenses for the funeral of a 12-year old boy killed by a homeless man in Cherokee Park in Louisville, Kentucky according WLKY.com.  

According to reports from WLKY, 21-year old Joseph Cambron was arrested the date of October 2nd for the murder of Ray Etheridge including tampering with evidence. Ray Etheridge, a middle school student, was reportedly homeless with his mother and stepfather, spending enormous quantities of time in Louisville’s Mid City Mall. Cambron and Etheridge seemingly knew each other prior to the altercation on Tuesday afternoon (September 30) in which Cambron pulled out a knife and stabbed the pre-teen to death.

Reports from the police show Cambron and Etheridge had been hanging out with each other in Cherokee Park in weeks prior and confirmed that Etheridge was spotted with Cambron in the surveillance video exactly before his death. “We were able to put some information together, they did know each other from that area for a few weeks," Lt. Todd Kessinger of the Louisville Metro Police Department’s Homicide Unit said.

 Master P is said to be covering the funeral expenses while the Etheridge family is currently raising money for a headstone.

Master P has on multiple occasions cited Louisville as a second home to him and announced plans in 2013 to film parts of a documentary about “the effects of chronic incarceration, poverty, and violence on the African American community” in Kentucky’s largest city. Last year, the website Louisville.com had reports showing that “African Americans make up 20 percent of Louisville’s nearly 700,00 residents, but 56 percent of the prison populations.” While holding a news conference about the documentary in June of 2013, Master P spoke on his own past experiences with violence as well as prison. “I have a brother dead,” he said. “I have a brother incarcerated, so I know on a firsthand basis what is going on. We’re killing each other basically, that’s why I decided to change my life.” A preview of the Cradle To The Streets documentary is available below:
