Here is a snippet from bossip.com
The guilt-ridden rapper who confessed to a 17-year-old murder told The Post yesterday he didn’t know his victim had died when he decided to come clean on the cold case.
Trevell Coleman — whose rap name is G-Dep — said cops dropped the bombshell after he went into the 25th Precinct station house Wednesday to admit to the Oct. 19, 1993, shooting of John Henkel. “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. The rapper — who signed with Sean Combs’ Bad Boy label in 1999, was dropped a few years later, and last August signed with Famous Records — said his dark secret “weighed on me.” It got so bad for him, he confessed despite the objections of loved ones. “I told my mom and my girlfriend that I wanted to confess, and they both told me to leave it in the past,” he said.

Now I have read and heard various opinions stating that "G-Dep is dumb" and "I commend that man." Quite frankly I agree with the second statement. Murder is a serious crime and the aftermath weighs heavy on someone's heart. I understand why his mother and girlfriend told him to leave it in the past since I'm pretty sure they knew they would never see him again and out of concern for his children, but I believe he made a great decision. G-Dep committed a horrific crime and I'm pretty sure his confession has put the victim's family at rest knowing that they have finally caught the person who killed their son and/or loved one.
Although, I am pretty sure there are thousands if not millions of people who are going to disagree but that is the power of freedom of speech.
I do as I say and say as I do.
