Dipset Associate Lands on AMW for Teen’s Murder
A Dipset associate named Carlos “Zoo” Thompson was featured on a recent episode of America’s Most Wanted for allegedly ordering a 13 year-old kid to shoot 15 year-old Phoenix Garret for selling bootleg Dipset mixtapes.
On June 16, 2005, Phoenix was selling CDs on 144th Street in Harlem, a rapidly gentrifying pocket of the city with lingering attitudes from the “bad old days” when Carlos Thompson and a group of his thug cohorts spotted him on the street. Noticing the name “Dipset Crew” on one of the CDs, Thompson apparently threatened Phoenix, then lunged at him. Police say that, feeling scared, the boy defended himself by pulling out a box cutter and slashing at the older man’s face.
It may have been a fatal mistake.
While Thompson’s accomplices allegedly beat and stomped Phoenix, the enforcer demanded that a member of his legion retrieve a .38 from a nearby car. Phoenix broke away from the pack, and raced around the corner. But the group caught up to him, continuing the beating.
At that point, cops say, the gun was handed to the youngest member of the mob, a 13-year-old named L’mani Delima.
According to NYPD Det. Joseph Condello, Carlos Thompson turned to the 13-year-old that was with them and said, “Shoot him.”
Delima allegedly obeyed, blasting Phoenix with five separate gunshots.
The episode aired Saturday night.

I fucking hate that shit…….meanwhile, there are plenty of inner city youths who think this shit is cool……..im 23 and i play GTA IV a shit load but when i take a break to go get some food, i aint rampaging cats on the way to chipotle…unfortunately, murder is all around our youths whether it be tv shows, movies, music, and now video games that are about as real as it gets……….i dont wanna be a hypocrit and say kids shouldnt play that game when i was playing the originals at like 13 years old, but goddamn, im from the suburbs..not the screetz….theres a big difference in one’s train of thought….its called “life chances.”

That shit is just sad. And where is Al Sharpton on this one, here you have a grown man enforcing a younger one to kill someone. You that goes on in every hood around America and you dont see shit being done. I bet you if a cop would have shot him for selling bootlegs and fighting back we would have seen outrage and protesting. Black folk in the hood judt need to grow that fuck up man.

lame ass dipset, all a bunch of low life fucks
May 26th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
my point was that youngin had to know that somebody will approach him sooner or later about his bootlegs. then you take the ass-whooping, get your shit destroyed and move on. but dont pull out a box cutter and slash a nigga in the face cuz they are more gangsta than you are.
same shit: i you decide to sell drugs dont act up when popo cathces you and you gotta do a bid.
May 26th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
i still feel sorry for his family though.
May 26th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Yeah Lil Phoenix was makin wrong choices out in these streets but I gotta cosign MDkev, yeah, Sharpton and the Racecard collectors would love if this bullshit was white on black but its the kind of thing nobody inthe hood wanna address so it will continue unfortunately. Who buys Dipset tapes??
May 26th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
but the old nigga should’ve pulled the trigger himself.
^ ^ ^ ^
ON A KID?!?!
I CAN’T BELIEVE THESE DIPSET IDIOTS CAN JUMP AND SHOOT A KID FOR SELLING THEIR WEED PLATE MIXED TAPES.
BUT THEY CAN’T GET BACK AT THE COUNTLESS DUDES THAT STYLE ON THEM ON A REGULAR BASIS:
1] D.C. SHOOTERS
2] JR MAFIA
3] 19 YEAR OLD L.E.S. KID WHO PUNCHED OUT AND ROBED JIM.
4] TRU-LIFE, AND THE LIST GOES ON. (NOT THAT I ADVOCATE RETALIATION OR ANY KIND OF VIOLENCE.)
AND THE GROWN ASS MAN HAS TO GET A 13 YEAR OLD TO DO HIS SHOOTING ON A CHILD.
I CAN’T BELIEVE AFTER ALL THE EVIDENCE OF THESE GUYS BEING TOTAL LAME BRAIN, CHEESY, HYPOCRITICAL, SUSPECT, TIGHT PANTS GLITTER BELT WEARIN’ CORN BALLS THEY STILL HAVE FANS.
HOW COULD YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF RESPECT FOR THESE GUYS?
