It’s a jungle in some areas of New York City, especially Brownsville, Brooklyn. Bobby, who hails from an equally dangerous neighborhood, East Flatbush, recounted a near death experience in an interview room at the Rockland County Correctional Center.
On the evening of November 5, 2013, Bobby headed to his friend Pluto’s apartment complex to purchase some weed. Unfortunately, Bobby was ambushed by two armed masked men upon reaching the landing of the apartment.
Bobby says one of the men pointed a large caliber revolver at him.
“Where the hell Pluto live?” Bobby recalled one of the men saying.
Pluto’s door suddenly opened at that moment, and one of the robbers shot him.
“They shot him right in front of my face,” Bobby said, according to GQ Mag. “When they shot him, I turned my head to the wall, like: I don’t know nothin’, I ain’t see nothin’. They grabbed me into the house. And then they had the gun to my mouth. They were like: ‘Where the drugs at?’ I’m like, ‘Listen, I never been here before. I just came for some weed. I don’t know nothin’ about nothin’.’ ‘Stop f***in’ lyin’! You wanna die, too?’ I’m like, ‘I do not wanna die, but I don’t know where no drugs are.’ It was like a f——up predicament.” The men ransacked the apartment and found the weed.
Bobby and two others in the apartment were ordered to get on the floor.
“They said if we move they gonna kill us right there.”
When the men left, Bobby and the others ran to the kitchen, where they found Pluto dead, lying in a pool of blood.
