Girlfriend Brianna Gibbs said she shot and killed Chicago rapper Johnny May Cash in self-defense during an altercation in Gresham last week.
Brianna Gibbs, 28, was arrested in Bronzeville six hours after she allegedly shot Tyrone Pittman on Sunday morning, according to Chicago police.
Judge Susana Ortiz agreed that the case appeared to have a strong self-defense claim and ordered Gibbs' bail set at $100,000.Gibbs quietly answered"yes" when the judge asked if she understood she could not possess a weapon and could not speak to any witnesses in the case if she is released as the case continues.
After the shooting, Gibbs flagged down a car and was driven to her aunt's house, where she told family that Pittman"beat her up again" and she was taken to a hospital, Murphy said. After taking a domestic violence report, officers learned that she was a suspect in Pittman's death. She had lost her cellphone inside and asked Pittman to bring it to her, deciding she would shoot him if he"came out aggressively at her," Murphy said.
In January, a video uploaded to YouTube showed Pittman punching Gibbs and slamming her body into a wall"with such force that plaster can be seen falling in front of the camera," Murphy said.
