Kay Flock Indicted on RICO Charges, Faces Life in Prison

Kay Flock’s attorney Jeffrey Lichtman has released the following statement to XXL about the new charges.

“We’re not surprised by the federal charges as we’ve been fighting Kevin’s state murder charge for over a year now—and considering the shooting was a clear act of self-defense, it wasn’t a particularly strong charge,” the statement reads. “That it’s now being used as a basis for a possible death penalty charge is extraordinary. On video, it is crystal clear that Kevin was about to be shot after attempting to walk away from his attacker. Only then, did Kevin use a weapon to defend himself and another from an armed, violent gang member who was about to pull out the loaded gun in his hand.”

Kay Flock turned himself in to face a murder charge on Dec. 23, 2021 in connection to the shooting death of Oscar Hernandez, 24, who was shot and killed outside a Bronx barbershop on Dec. 16, 2021. Some of the incident was captured on surveillance camera.

Initial reports claimed Kay Flock confronted the victim while he was getting a haircut inside the barbershop. Hernandez was then said to have walked outside where an argument ensued with Kay Flock and Hernandez was shot. However, video of the incident shows Kay Flock walking past the barbershop with what appears to be a young kid with him. Hernandez then exits the barbershop and appears to follow Kay Flock before he is shot off camera.

Now, the rapper has additional problems on his hands. He faces a mandatory life sentence in prison if found guilty on the federal charges.
