35-Year-Old Dancehall Star Vybz Kartel Charged With 2nd Murder

One of Jamaica's most popular deejays now has a second murder charge against him.
Police say 35-year-old dancehall star Vybz Kartel was charged late Monday in the August slaying of a Jamaican man nicknamed "Lizard."
Earlier this month, police accused the rapper of conspiring with others to kill a 27-year-old music promoter who was gunned down on a street corner.
Assistant Police Commissioner Ealan Powell tells the Jamaica Gleaner that Kartel is being investigated "in connection with a number of murders, shootings and gunrunning."
Kartel's defense attorney could not be reached about the latest allegations on Tuesday.
Kartel is known for sexually explicit and violent lyrics.
