We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Mazaradi Fox.

The New York Daily News reports that Jamal Green aka Mazaradi Fox, age 42 was gunned down on Friday. He was killed at Farmers Blvd. and 134th Ave. in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens about 4:10 p.m. when the shooter rolled up to his white SUV and opened fire.

Police sources said Fox, released from prison just two weeks ago, stumbled out of the Nissan SUV and collapsed in a driveway.

Three other people in the SUV were wounded, including a 21-year-old man who was hit in the neck and shoulder and was in critical condition, police said. A second man, age 22, was wounded in the arm, and the fourth victim, a woman in her 20s — believed to be Fox’s daughter according to thisis50.com — suffered a graze wound to the neck, police said.

Paramedics rushed the survivors to Jamaica Hospital.

Mazaradi Fox short lived freedom from the iron college turned out to be worse than expected. After serving two years for an attempted assault he was sent up the river. He was also convicted of attempted murder in 1998, according to court records.

James Rosemond (aka Jimmy Henchmen) is in federal time out. Did he order a hit on Mazaradi Fox?

He was a childhood friend of 50 Cent and was affiliated with the “In Da Club” rapper’s crew G-Unit. A spokesman for 50 Cent’s record company said Fox never signed with the label.

He ultimately parted company with 50 Cent and started his own rap label, Dumout, according to thisis50.com.

"We're sorry to hear about the tragic news. Our sympathy goes out to his family and friends. Despite reports, he was never on the G-Unit record label," says a representative for G-Unit. "50 Cent was in his New York studio and was saddened when he heard the news. He sends his condolences to Mazaradi's family," said a rep for 50-Cent.

50 Cent was in his New York studio when he heard Fox was murdered.

“Saddened by the news of Mazaradi’s tragic passing,” he tweeted. “My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.”

A police source indicated the Fox slaying was possibly gang-related.

Five years ago, Fox pumped two .25-caliber bullets into Queens gangbanger Rashawn Carter, authorities said. The victim survived the shooting. Charged with attempted murder, Fox was later convicted of attempted assault and sent to prison.

In a bizarre twist, Carter was then executed in a brazen February 2010 street hit witnessed by the local precinct commander.

“What a stroke of luck,” one police source dryly observed. “The person you were trying to kill gets killed by someone else.”

A woman answering the door Saturday at Fox’s Queens home said they were mourning his violent loss.
“We miss him,” she said. “We love him.”

Fox was riding shotgun alongside his girlfriend when the shooter rolled up to his white Nissan SUV and began spraying the vehicle with bullets, cops said.

The girlfriend, who was driving, suffered a graze wound to the neck, while a 21-year-old male passenger was critically injured with bullet wounds to the neck and shoulder.
