G. Dep Confesses To A Murder

Saturday, December 18 2010 12:27 PM EST | Posted by: Amaya | Posted in: Blog, Newsstand Stan

G. Dep’s conscience got the best of him, and on Wednesday, he confessed to killing John Henkel in Harlem 17 years ago. According to the NY Post, The Deputy walked into the 25th precinct and gave details of how he committed the crime.

Coleman, who grew up in the projects, told cops he was riding a bike when he rolled up on Henkel, 32, on Park Avenue and East 114th Street and announced a robbery. Coleman told Detective William Dunn that Henkel resisted and grabbed his .40-caliber gun. He allegedly admitted that he pulled away and shot his victim three times in the chest.

The former Bad Boy artist was charged with murder and is currently being held without bail.

UPDATE: Dep didn’t know the victim died.

“I was surprised— for some reason, I really didn’t think that he died,” the bald and bearded Coleman said in a jailhouse interview.

“When they told me, I was like, ‘Oh, I’m not going home after this.’ ”

Manhattan DA spokeswoman Erin Duggan said Coleman, 36, has now been charged with murder in the case. He faces life in prison

    Guess his conscience finally got to him, I heard this dude was a mad Dust Head back in the day, probably got sober and realised all the fucked up things he’d done

    I respect homie for accepting the consequences, takes a Real Stand up dude to walk in and confess like that, I dont think I could bring myself to face a life sentence like that, I’d probably just go to church more or summin, lol

    When it’s too difficult to survive on the outside, sometimes being behind bars is a better life.
    I have a few family members who believed that same lie…not confessing by to murders but by getting locked up on purpose…We all have the option to confess to God who is the only Law we should abide by…the courts is a lie…Good luck G.Dep

    Crack the real truth serum! Ha!

  32. Squid Pro Quo says:

    @Villain…

    You’re a dumb ass. G-Dep is a man with a conscious and me knowing him personally… he was dying. He was living on park benches… high 24/7 on dust and heroin. lost 50 lbs. the only stop for him was death. he saved his life by turning himself in.

    Plus… because he turned himself in he’s not going to get life. And if he’s lawyer is good he can prove that (a) the intention was not to kill the man (b) he shows remorse… and it’s going to be knocked down to MANSLAUGHTER.

    furthermore… you probably think lil’ wayne is a gangsta because he did a skid bid on rikers.

  33. mrzillz says:

    This is crazy, but at some point we all have to be accountable for our actions!

  34. ^So i guess lil boosie is your role model to? #Fail At least he getting help now and i guess he wont feel as guilty now.

  39. KIng JuggaNott says:

    A great deal of cats that talk about murder and glorify murder have NEVER been around murder and death in their life. Or they just don’t understand it. My fear of it took me halfway around the world three times and away for ten years…..that shit does different things to cats. Glad he made peace with God and himself.

  45. dj m-80 says:

    I’m viewing a lot of speculations to dep’s motive of action. As a co- representive friend and producer of g.dep, I would like to ask the fans to keep him in your prayers. Also, there are many posts I’m viewing “poking fun” at his image. He was not sleeping on park benches, he has a home and family. G.dep is a humble man, and for those that don’t know him ; do your research. He’s been through hell. please keep him in your prayers!! Thanks

  46. KIng JuggaNott says:

    You got that.
