Hip-hop pioneer Kidd Creole, who was an original member of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, was sentenced to 16 years in prison for stabbing a homeless man to death in 2017.
Despite his place in early hip-hop history, Glover had been living a quiet life in recent years, working at a copy shop and living alone in a small apartment in the Bronx. “He was never making trouble,” one of hisin 2017. “Sometimes, you didn’t even know he was home. When somebody told me the cops were in my building, my last thought was that it was for him. He was always saying hello and smiling.
Glover was on his way to work when his fatal run-in with Jolly occurred. As described during the trial, the two began to exchange words, and while Glover walked away at first, he eventually turned around, approached Jolly again, and stabbed him twice with a steak knife. Jolly’s body was discovered by a group of tourists a few minutes later; he was taken to the hospital where he died of his stab wounds.
