Gun battle at Busta Rhymes video shoot leaves bodyguard dead

Busta Rhymes was shooting a video at a studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn when a group of young men started getting rowdy, When asked to leave, one of the men drew a weapon, said to be an AK-47, and a gunfight ensued. When it was all over, one of Busta's bodyguards lay dying from his injuries, and his killer was on the loose. A handgun was also recovered near the scene.

Several other well-known hip-hop figures were on the scene, including Missy Elliot, Lloyd Banks (of G-Unit) and Swizz Beatz. 50 Cent and Mary J. Blige were expected at the shoot, but there are conflicting reports as to whether they were present at the time.
