MORE TROUBLE SURROUNDS THE MAYWEATHERS By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Thu, 11 Mar 2010  KTNV Action News, an affiliate of ABC News in Las Vegas has reported that the hunt is over for the triggerman suspected of shooting at Quincey Williams outside a roller rink last August. The suspect was reportedly in a car owned by boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr who lives in Las Vegas. The TV station said that 27-year-old Ocie Harris was arrested in Chicago and extradited to Las Vegas over the weekend. Police say Harris was part of Mayweather's entourage on the night of the shooting. According to Action News, several witnesses the shooting happened several hours after Mayweather reportedly threatened one of the targeted victims inside the rink. The accused gunman posted bail less than 24 hours after being booked into the Clark County Detention Center over the weekend and police never even got a chance to interview him. One of the victims who was allegedly the target of the shooting said he fears that justice won't be served because of the suspect's "connection" to Mayweather. Quincey Williams who was the passenger in the BMW that was shot at last August told the TV station "I fear for my life. I can't go nowhere. I'm scared to go outside because there's no telling what might happen. Floyd might hire somebody else to do something." Williams claimed the drama started after he texted Mayweather with bad wishes for an upcoming fight which was presumably his clash with Mexico’s Juan Manuel Marquez last October. Police interviewed 32 witnesses on the night when the shots rang out in the parking lot of the Crystal Palace Skating Center and several of them said they saw Mayweather threatening Williams in the rink hours before the shooting took place. According to an arrest warrant, Mayweather denied "knowing an Ocie" and was "unaware of any shooting". He admitted to being at the skating rink on the night when gunfire broke out. Six bullets were fired but nobody was hurt. The mother of Williams, Beatrice Turner told Acton News "Innocent people could've been killed behind this, and look how long it took for this to play out. If you got money like he (Mayweather) got, you can pay fools to do your dirty work, now can't you!" Top photo: Ocie Harris.
