Family Of Slain Bouncer Files Lawsuit Against Proof's Estate

G44 · 06-04-2006, 03:48 PM

The family of slain bouncer Keith Bender filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Detroit rapper, Proof's estate.

Bender was allegedly shot by Proof last month in an altercation at the CCC Nightclub on 8 Mile Road in Detroit - an incident which led to the death of the 35 year - old Army veteran.

According to the lawsuit, filed by Bender's wife Jacqueline and mother Leona, Proof "violently assaulted and battered (Bender), culminating with the infection of a gunshot injury that caused the death of Mr. Bender."

Proof, whose real name is Deshaun Holton, died as a result of the altercation as well.

According to police, Bender's cousin, Mario Etheridge, shot the famous rapper and has been charged with carrying a concealed weapon and discharging firearm in a building in connection with the incident.

"It's shameful that Mr. Holton is being lauded as a hero and martyr, when in fact, it was his own criminalistic conduct that not only led to his death, but took the life of an honorable, innocent man," Michael Cafferty, a lawyer representing the Bender family told the Associated Press.

Proof's lawyer, David Gorosh, was unable to be reached for comments.

Proof is a hero! What did Bender do for anyone? Proof contributed so much to Hip Hop.

That fuckin' bullshit, these mother fuckers have no respect for whatever happened there. It's a tragic thing and these bitches are tryin' to get money for the death of two persons.

Get 'em in the streets, make 'em understand the pain we, the fans, felt back then.

5oX · 06-12-2006, 03:03 PM

fucking idiots, i love proof s music and what he gave 2 hip hop but he shot 1st, if it had been the other way round, you would be saying, "oh kool proof is a g, he shot that guy and now he is gona get money off them , fuck dem guys"

feel some sympany for the man who died family, proof shot 1st he brought it upon himself, the man hasnt been charge for murder.

RIP 2 proof he was a good rapper, but alot of people dick ridering him now he is gone.

Fact is 2 lives were taken over some bull shit, if two grown men can't fight with fists to settles differences then they don't need to be getting into any altercations. It is a shame that the Bender family will most likely recieve some money from Proof's estate but we can't be made at them any1 of our families would do the same in a wrongful death suit.

Spider Loc · 07-03-2006, 05:48 PM
