Witnesses not cooperating with investigation of who shot rapper Beanie Sigel

Authorities have said that the investigation into who shot rapper Beanie Sigel last week in New Jersey remains “wide open.”

According to NBC 10, the police captain of the town where Sigel was shot said that the investigation is so open because witnesses are not cooperating with law enforcement.

"Right now, the detective doesn't have much to go on," Pleasantville Police Capt. Rocky Melendez said. "The detectives have brought a lot of people in for questioning, but unfortunately no one’s talking."

As previously reported, the Hip-Hop artist was shot shortly before 10 a.m. last Friday and was transported to an area hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition.

Investigators have said that the bullet that struck Sigel came from a vehicle that shot at the home of his brother-in-law. Authorities have repeatedly said that the rapper was not the intended target.

Sigel, whose real name is Dwight Grant, was a former member of Roc-A-Fella Records. He had several collaborations with his former boss and mentor Jay-Z before the two had a falling out.

The 40-year-old had recently served more than a year in a federal prison for tax evasion. At the time of the shooting, he was on home confinement, which was set to end the next day.
