An argument between two women out on the town last night devolved into gunplay in the Meatpacking District. WCBS reports that the shooter and her friend/victim were at the Pizza Bar on 9th Ave., and left shortly before 4 am. The women, who are described as being passengers in a three vehicle caravan, were arguing when the older woman (27 years old) shot her younger friend (23 years old) in the lower torso before fleeing the scene. The victim is in stable condition at St. Vincent's hospital and police are still searching for the so-called friend who shot her.
NY1 is reporting that the shooter could be female rapper Remy Martin, who allegedly drove from the scene of the crime in a dark blue Cadillac Escalade that was then crashed a few blocks away before the driver fled on foot. NY1 is referring to Remy Ma, formerly known as Remy Martin, who is a former collaborator with Fat Joe and his Terror Squad and was featured on the hit single "Lean Back." Sources told the local news channel that the victim may have been part of Remy's entourage and the shooting was the culmination of a fight that began inside Pizza Bar. Remy has a MySpace page, but hasn't blogged about any shooting yet.
