"Painting Pictures" rapper Superstar Pride, 20, was denied bond after being arrested last week for first-degree murder in Mississippi. Pride, real name Cadarrius Pride, is accused of shooting and killing his barber, 40-year-old Marcus Wheatley, on July 19.
Panola County Sheriff Shane Phelps is confident that they'll figure out the motive, as he told the Panolian, "Right now this is a puzzle. We don’t know why Cadarrius Pride shot Marcus Wheatley. They were friends and had known each other a long time. We are interviewing people and asking questions and sooner or later the truth is going to come out."
Phelps also revealed that a family member of Pride's signed papers at the Sheriff’s Office two days before the shooting asking that he be picked up for mental evaluation.
