Nathaniel Glover, known as The Kidd Creole, a member of the legendary Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, has been convicted of manslaughter in New York City for the fatal 2017 stabbing of a homeless man. Manhattan D.A. Alvin L. Bragg Jr. announced Wednesday (April 6) that the New York supreme court jury found the rap legend guilty of first-degree manslaughter.

Glover was arrested and charged back in August 2017 in connection with John Jolly's fatal stabbing in New York City.

The D.A. says prosecutors proved at trial Glover was walking past the homeless man on the street when the two exchanged words, before Glover eventually turned around, confronted him, and stabbed him twice in the torso with a steak knife.

Prosecutors say a group of tourists discovered the man's body in the street minutes after the stabbing, and he was transported to a hospital where he died of his stab wounds.

The D.A. says Glover left the crime scene and fled two blocks away to his office, where he changed clothes and cleaned the knife in a sink. Prosecutors say the rapper left the office after about 15 minutes, rode the subway, and tossed the knife in a sewer near a Bronx subway station, which was recovered the next day by NYPD officers, leading to his arrest. Kidd Creole is expected to be sentenced on May 4.
