Weapons & Guns

Bobby Shmurda just pled guilty in his murder conspiracy case.

Shmurda, has been jailed since December 2014 in a case where more than 15 defendants were charged with various crimes, including murder, attempted murder and drug dealing.

The rapper was originally charged with conspiracy to commit murder and several weapons and drug charges associated with gangs.

According to the deal, Shmurda pled to conspiracy to possess weapons and possession of a weapon. The other charges were dismissed, and he'll get 7 years in prison and 5 years probation.

The semi-good news, Bobby's been behind bars for 20 months ... so he'll get credit for that.

A TMZ producer was in court, and heard Shmurda's lawyer speak with his client and other defendants, imploring them to take the deal because they'd never get a sympathetic jury and they were facing life in prison.

The woman who called the cops on Chris Brown says the singer pulled a gun on her because she was admiring a piece of jewelry ... and afterwards his people demanded she signed a non-disclosure agreement.

Baylee Curran appeared on "TMZ Live" and said she had partied with Chris in the past and he was always nice, but this time he appeared to be out of it ... on drugs or alcohol.

She says she came to his house with a friend, spent a little time in the hot tub, and then walked back inside where a member of Chris' crew was displaying jewelry. Baylee says when she admired one piece the guy went nuts, and then Chris followed suit by demanding she "get the f*** out" and pointed a gun at her.

The craziest part ... as she tried to leave she says Chris' people wouldn't let her take her cell phone until she signed a non-disclosure agreement. She refused to sign, and she and her friend left.

TMZ broke the story ... Baylee, Miss California Regional 2016, called 911 and that started the standoff with Chris.

You can see the full interview on "TMZ Live."

3:00 PM PT -- Chris went back inside the house. His lawyer is still there, and police have NOT arrested Chris yet.

2:30 PM PT -- Chris just walked out of the house in a red cap. He is NOT in handcuffs, and police are standing watch ... but Chris looks totally relaxed and chill about the situation.

12:49 PM PT -- Chris' entourage has started filing out of the house. They're all lining up outside the front door with cops checking them for weapons. Still no sign of Chris yet.

At the same time ... police are holding a news conference at the base of Chris' driveway.

12:30 PM PT -- Chris' attorney Mark Geragos just arrived entered the house. We're expecting Chris to surrender sometime soon.

11:11 AM PT -- We're live streaming outside Chris' house ... where police are waiting for him to surrender.

Police have retrieved at least one gun, other weapons and drugs from Chris Brown's home, after Chris threw a duffel bag out the window of his home ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ broke the story ... cops raced to Chris' home early Tuesday morning after a woman called 911 and claimed he pulled a gun on her.

Police have been at the house since 3 AM and are in the process of getting a search warrant. Chris has not left the house, but multiple sources tell us he was defiant as he threw the duffel bag out the window, taunting cops and saying, "Come and get me."

Chris posted a video in which he refers to Black Lives Matter, saying "f*** the police."

Two sources on scene tells us in addition to weapons there were drugs in the duffel bag.

As for the woman who called 911 ... she's a beauty pageant title holder.

T-Pain is begging the public to help him and authorities find the suspect who fatally stabbed his niece Tuesday morning in Florida.

Tallahassee cops say they responded to a call of someone getting stabbed at a Walgreens. When cops arrived, they found the victim bleeding heavily and she eventually died from her wounds.

Law enforcement has confirmed the 23-year-old victim was T-Pain's niece, Javona Glover.

Cops are looking for a black male suspect.

9:40 AM PT -- Police say they are still trying to make contact with Chris.

9:20 AM PT -- Chris is finally awake and posting videos. He's pissed about the police presence at his house and feels he's being harassed. He even dropped a "F*** tha police!"

The cops are still outside.

8:45 AM PT -- We've learned the SWAT team is on its way to Chris' home and the LAPD is in the process of obtaining a search warrant. We're told cops want to see if a gun matching the description from the woman is in the house. As of now, Chris has not left his residence.

7:55 AM PT -- TMZ has learned Chris was in the house with several friends, including Ray J. They were talking and at one point Ray was getting a tattoo when some "uninvited guests" appeared inside the house and were asked to leave.

At that point, the story gets murky. The guests included a man who was invited, and two women who were not -- one of the women who'd been asked to leave is the one who made the police report, claiming Brown pulled the gun on her. Someone inside the house insists Chris was asleep the whole time.

At some point Ray J left the house and when he got to the base of the driveway, police handcuffed him and seized his BMW. They checked his ID, uncuffed him and let him go, but kept his car as evidence. He Ubered home.

At the time of this post, Chris is still in the house. He never left. Police are knocking on the door, but no one inside is responding.

We don't know what police will do if he tries to leave.

Chris Brown is a suspect in a criminal assault investigation after a woman called 911 and told cops ... he threatened her with a gun ... TMZ has learned.

The alleged incident went down early Tuesday morning in L.A. We're told Chris and the woman were in a home when she claims they argued and he pulled the gun.

The woman called 911 and police responded and took a report.

We're told the case is under investigation and Chris is the sole suspect.

Undefeated boxing prodigy Jose Benavidez Jr. -- who's 25-0 as a pro -- was shot while out on a walk in Arizona early Tuesday morning ... but we're told he's expected to survive.

FYI, the 24-year-old Top Rank fighter is a rising star in the sport -- and recently chalked up a high profile victory over Francisco Santana on the undercard of the Crawford vs. Postol fight in Vegas.

Sources tell us ... Benavidez was out walking one of his pets near his home in Phoenix when he was approached by an unknown man who pulled out a gun and shot him in the leg.

The Phoenix PD confirms the shooting and says the victim was transported to a nearby hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

However, one source with knowledge of the situation tells us Jose's injuries pose a serious threat to his boxing career.

So far, no arrests have been made.

Story developing ...

12:57 PM PT -- Nia tells TMZ she's NOT calling cops to report Soulja. She says she doesn't have a BF, and the person he threatened is just an Internet troll trying to piss off the rapper.

A rep for Soulja claims the gun was a fake, and adds he's already reached out to Nia to apologize.

Soulja Boy is making disturbing threats against the guy he thinks took his place ... with his ex-girlfriend.

The "Crank That" rapper made the vicious threat Friday in a video post ... waving and pointing what appears to be a Glock with an extended magazine.

It's unclear why the threat's being directed at Nia Riley and her BF. Not the smartest move -- especially considering Soulja's on probation for a weapons charge.

Ryan Lochte did not lie about the "robbery" incident ... and there are 3 minutes of missing surveillance video that will back up most of his story ... this according to sources directly connected to the swimmer.

Our sources say Lochte and his team claim they were indeed taken out of a cab at gunpoint, but the video doesn't show that because the gas station edited it out.

We're told Lochte mistook the uniforms worn by the security guards as police uniforms, and he claims during the missing 3 minutes he and the other swimmers were pulled out of the taxi at gunpoint.

As for his claim the cab was pulled over en route, one of the sources concedes, "That's a problem."

And our Lochte sources say reports that his 3 teammates admitted the story was a lie are untrue.

In fact ... Jimmy Feigen just spoke with local news in San Antonio, denying a cover-up and affirming he was robbed.

Ed Hartwell denies Keshia Knight Pulliam's claims he's trying to kill their unborn kid ... and says she's the one who was mentally and emotionally abusive during their relationship.

In new docs, obtained by TMZ, Ed says Keshia should be "ashamed" for saying he wants their baby dead, and thinks she's going over the top to make him look bad. He says Keshia's claims of his "deep-seated rage and uncontrollable anger" actually apply more to her.

TMZ broke the story ... last week Keshia said Ed was being abusive in an effort to kill their baby. She also said he was unstable and should be stripped of his guns. However, Ed says he's got no issues upstairs, and is more than capable of safely owning weapons.

Young Buck is heading back to prison.

Buck was in court Wednesday for a probation violation, and the judge didn't go easy on him ... he was sentenced to 7 months behind bars.

TMZ broke the story ... Buck was arrested last month for allegedly threatening to torch his ex-GF's apartment.

The probation all stems from a 2012 gun charge when federal agents found illegal firearms in his home during a raid.

O.T. Genasis was in court Wednesday after learning the hard way -- you can't fly strapped -- especially if you're traveling with heat that's stolen and loaded.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the "CoCo" rapper was leaving LAX last month and got stopped at a security screening when officials noticed the weapon. We're told cops found the loaded Regent R350 CR in his bag ... and after further investigation, determined the handgun was stolen.

O.T. was booked for possession of a loaded firearm and possession of a stolen firearm.

He was in court Wednesday for his arraignment.

Donald Trump just made a shocking wisecrack during a speech, in which he mused Hillary Clinton was out to abolish the Second Amendment but the Second Amendment people know how to stop her.

Trump spoke at a North Carolina rally when he made the remark.

Clinton's campaign manager just fired back, "This is simple -- what Trump is saying is dangerous. A person seeking to be President of the United States should not suggest violence in any way."

Former heavyweight champion Charles Martin was shot in the forearm earlier this week, and is laid up in the hospital ... TMZ Sports has learned.

A passenger in Martin's car told LAPD officers they were in downtown L.A. around 5 AM Tuesday when 2 men approached the vehicle and got into an argument with the boxer. According to the police report ... the men started shooting, but missed and fled. Martin got in his car and chased the alleged shooters, but crashed into a utility pole.

Police say that's when the suspects returned and opened fire again. This time, Martin took a bullet to his forearm, and the suspects fled again, this time in a car.

Officers responded and transported Martin to the hospital.

We reached out to Martin and he says the officers saved his life -- he was losing a lot of blood when they arrived at the scene. Martin says he doesn't know the suspects, and has no idea why they had beef with him.

One big difference in Martin's version of the story is he says he was trying to get away from the gunmen -- not chasing them -- when he crashed.

The former IBF heavyweight -- who lost the belt earlier this year -- adds he was worried the shooters were coming back to finish the job. He says he jumped in the bed of a parked pickup truck when he "looked down, and saw a pool of blood. I said to myself, 'I gotta get outta here. I'm gonna die. I'm gonna bleed to death.'"

"I have to pay respect to the cops. They saved my life."

Steve Wilkos worked as a cop for many years in Chicago and saw plenty of violence, but he says no one -- NO ONE -- should be shot and killed over a broken taillight.

Wilkos was leaving the Montage in Bev Hills Tuesday when he told our photog he thinks lots of cops have itchy trigger fingers, partly because of the way they've been trained in recent years.

Tyson Beckford unloaded on Matt Damon ... essentially calling him 2-faced on the gun issue.

Tyson was leaving Katana in West Hollywood when he scoffed at Damon -- who has spoken out against rampant gun ownership -- but is banking millions by toting guns in the "Jason Bourne" flicks.

Chris Brown's known gang ties set off the shooting spree inside 1 OAK, and the club should have done a better job screening for weapons ... according to one of the shooting victims.

Ginja Elms says he was among those shot in 2014 at 1 OAK on Sunset -- the same night Suge Knight got popped 7 times. In a lawsuit he's filed against Brown, Elms says the nightclub was well aware of the singer's gang affiliation, and as a result it should have patted down every single person entering that night ... including celebs and their crews.

He's also suing singer Pia Mia, who co-hosted the event with Brown. You'll recall Suge already filed a very similar suit against Brown, Mia and 1 OAK.

Aside from the obvious gunshot wound, Elms says he's suffered "disruption in his relationship with his wife."

He's suing for damages in excess of $750k.
