As details are still emerging <\/a>in the mysterious\u00a0murder of former BET<\/em> DJ and Hot 97 personality DJ\u00a0Megatron,\u00a0<\/strong>it’s being\u00a0reported that\u00a0three men approached him\u00a0before the shooting.\u00a0 And he may have possibly been involved in a marijuana buy at the time of shooting.\u00a0 <\/strong>Deets inside…<\/p>\n

\nFormer BET\u00a0host and Hot 97 personality DJ Megatron, who was\u00a0murdered in\u00a0Staten Island over the weekend, was on the phone with a friend when gunned down.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Police sources revealed that the shooting occured while\u00a0DJ Megatron aka <\/span>Corey McGriff <\/strong>was on the phone with a friend around\u00a02 a.m. on Sunday.\u00a0 The friend said all of a sudden,\u00a0the\u00a0call dropped.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sources tell police that three\u00a0men accosted Corey and were seen fleeing from the scene.\u00a0 Cops added that\u00a0a robbery was unlikely because Corey only had $1 in his wallet and his phone was not taken.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Authories are now saying<\/a> the shooting could have been\u00a0a result of an unpaid debt.\u00a0 The New York\u00a0Post<\/em> reported that:<\/p>\n

\n

“a user named \u201cMegapayup\u201d left veiled threats on Megatron\u2019s YouTube page regarding the alleged debt: ‘Who hides and tries to dodge people they owe. . . . So u say ur not gonna pay the bill. . . Bad shyt will stay happening to u, cuz you do bad.’ “<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Corey leaves behind an 11-year-old daughter Zaharia<\/strong>, a 4-year-old son Zion<\/strong>\u00a0and a 9-month-old son Isaiah<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Although Corey’s cousin, Lisa Davis Alexandra<\/strong>, said Corey’s 4-year-old son told her<\/a>\u00a0he saw three men approach his father at a bodega, cops have shot down a theory that they boy might have seen the shooting saying he was at home alseep during that time.<\/p>\n

\nHis mother, Louvenia McGriff <\/strong>said,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

“They’re trying to cope with the situation, especially the 11-year-old.\u00a0\u00a0She’s very hurt and upset and doesn’t understand why anyone would want to do that to her dad.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, police say Megatron was on his way to buy a cogar and a small amount of marijuana at the time of the shooting.\u00a0 Allhiphop.com<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n

\n

According to police, DJ Megatron was talking to a friend on a cellphone, as he allegedly drove to buy a cigar and a small amount of marijuana.<\/em><\/p>\n

Law enforcement is investigating DJ Megatron’s homicide as a possible random crime, a planned hit, or a drug deal gone wrong. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Friends remember Corey as a positive person.\u00a0\u00a0“106 &\u00a0Park” producer Stephanie Hodges <\/strong>told BET.com,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMega was the kind of person you would never catch in a bad mood.\u00a0\u00a0His spirit was infectious. For a show like 106, where the energy of our audience is crucial, he was a very important part of our team. We will miss him as our co-worker and as our friend.\u201d
<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He leaves behind 3 children.\u00a0 Such a sad situation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
