Rapper Young Jeezy arrested after shootout in South Beach over the weekend

In his hit song ''Soul Survivor'' Young Jeezy prays to stay out of jail.

But early Saturday morning, his prayers went unanswered in Miami Beach.

The 28-year-old rapper, born Jay Jenkins, was busted on weapons charges after a shootout on a busy South Beach strip involving some of his friends.

Miami Beach police arrested the Atlanta-based rapper and charged him with two counts of carrying a concealed firearm. No one was injured.

According to police reports, this is what happened:

A fight broke out at about 5:30 a.m. Friday morning in the 1200 block of Washington Avenue when Tramiel De Juan Golden -- a producer -- was caught fighting on tape with several men, who were not identified. Jenkins was with the group.

A passerby, Marco Raez, turned on his video camera, and started filming.

Golden demanded: ''Give me the camera.'' The feud escalated.

When Raez refused, another man Raheem Karriem, who was also with Golden, lifted his shirt to reveal a gun tucked into his waistband.

Karriem began shooting. Raez surrendered the camera. Miami Beach Police spokesman Robert Hernandez said about nine men, including Jenkins, got into two separate SUVs and fled the scene.

Karriem got into a black Landrover while Jenkins jumped into a Lincoln Navigator, police said. Before he was stopped by police, Karriem smashed into three parked cars, causing thousands of dollars in damages.

Police caught up to the Navigator moments after the incident occured. Jenkins, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, pointed his fingers at officers, making believe it was a gun.

Officers found a semi-automatic firearm under his seat and another similar firearm, near the armrest. Jenkins was arrested and charged with two counts of carrying a concealed firearm without a permit, while Golden was charged with strong armed robbery.

Another man, Steven Lesly Savain, of West Kendall -- who was also with the group -- was taken into custody. Police said there was a warrant out for his arrest for prior trespassing charges. The warrant was issued by Miami-Dade County in December.

This isn't the first time Jenkins has been trouble with the law.

According to county records, Jenkins was also arrested in Miami-Dade last summer. But the outcome of that case was unclear.

Jenkins has made headlines recently over a rivalry with another rapper, Radric ''Gucci Mane'' Davis.

They recorded a single last year called ''Icy.'' But a disagreement developed over rights to the song, when the hit was released. Both rappers have since put singles out attacking each other, according to published reports. Still, he's managed to command the Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart with the release of his current album ``Let's Get It``

Miami Beach police said they will continue to pack the streets with additional police officers during Spring Breach. It's a taskforce they said, helps control and protect the thousands of college students and partyers who migrate to South Beach for Spring Break each year.

Good for Jeezy, he sucks anyway! It was so ghetto out on the beach this past week it is not funny. Reminded me of Memorial Day Weekend. It was really thuggish with lots of guys in cars hollering and stopping traffic to hit up on chicks. Plus all the stupid little white kids kept asking for hip hop to be played. I so can't wait for WMC and Spring Break to be over!

I noticed this, as well. We have GOT to do *something* about the idiots marketing our city. We need to make them target a different crowd.

We gots guns n 28's in our lincoln n landrovers, cuz we be doing real Big!!!


"keepin' it real!" ...cuz that's wat gangastas do ya hurr!

[saintjohn]

Charged with carrying a concealed firearm and strong arm robbery? That's it? Why would the victim hand over his video camera unless he felt his life was being threatened? The state attorney should at least tack on a brandishing charge. I hope this doesn't get plea bargained away to time served plus community service. Grrr.

I hear ya! It was like so incredibly ghetto that my friend and I had to escape to Glass on Saturday night to hear some really good music at the Aquabooty party. One thug tried to follow us in, but just then Djinji Brown was playing this awesome afro-tribal set, and scared the thug away...Close call...

I'm glad some of you locals feel the same way. I'm not from Miami but ended up at the Beach last week, not realizing it was the middle of spring break, etc. Never seen so many thugs in my life.

I hope this was only because of spring break, etc., and not because the thugs have taken over the Beach. I'm thinking of buying a place down here but not if a thousand thugs are wandering around every day.

How often is it like that at the Beach? I've heard Memorial Day weekend is bad, too. Any other times?

(And do the locals stay in during these times? Last week was the most un-SoBe crowd walking around that I've ever seen.)
