Waka Flocka Flame Bus Shooting Yields No Arrests

UPDATE: After shooting at Waka Flocka Flame's tour bus and other vehicles, a group of North Carolina suspects evade a police chase and are still on the loose.
The Charlotte Observer reports that the men who opened fire outside of a Charlotte electronics store and hit Waka Flocka Flame’s tour bus have not been arrested or identified.
There were at least two men who exchanged gunfire from a Dodge Charger, and the Observer reports an overnight search by local police for the suspects has been unsuccessful.

“The undercover police called for support, and when marked patrol cars arrived, police say the Dodge took off,” states a report from the Observer. “The vehicle sideswiped one of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department cars while getting away. The pursuit ended on Woodvale Place, off Tuckaseegee Road, when two men abandoned the Dodge and ran off. Police conducted a manhunt for several hours in the area but did not find the men.”

When Waka Flocka Flame’s security detail exchanged gunfire with the unidentified men, Antonio Stukes was shot. Stukes was released from a North Carolina prison in December for an assault conviction. His lawyer, Adam Seifer, maintains his client’s innocence.

“He was an innocent bystander who only went up there to talk to Mr. Waka about getting a record deal,” Seifer told the Observer.
