Rap lyrics performed by aspiring hip-hop artist Anthony Spencer may have shown disrespect to gang members and led to his murder on the weekend, Toronto police say.
“Disrespect is a motive for murder. I’ve seen it before,” homicide Det. Sgt. Gary Giroux told reporters at a news conference Tuesday. “If you look at Mr. Spencer’s music, it may have directly or indirectly have offended some gang members in the area. “
Those slights, he added, might not mean something to the general community, but they are significant to the gang culture.
