Johnny May Cash’s girlfriend has claimed that she fatally shot the rapper in self-defense. 28-year-old Brianna Gibbs was charged with murder a few hours after she opened fire on Cash.
While in custody, Gibbs said that she shot Cash because she feared for her safety. She told the cops that her boyfriend pulled out a chunk of her hair during a dispute on April 17 at his home in Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood. At one point, Cash reportedly fell to the ground and was picked up by Gibbs.
Brianna said that she fled to the porch with a firearm in hand and told her boyfriend to bring her phone outside. She said that she decided to shoot Johnny after he came out aggressively at her.
Assistant State’s Attorney James Murphy told the court that Gibbs fired multiple shots at Cash when he approached her on the porch. When Cash fell back into the doorway, Gibbs reportedly grabbed her phone and fired one more shot from beyond the front steps.
Police arrived at the scene at 2:20 a.m. on Sunday but Cash and Gibbs were nowhere to be found.
