A botched car-jacking attempt left Diplomat Records CEO, Cam’Ron wounded

October 23, 2005—Washington, DC. Cameron “Cam’Ron” Giles, Multi-Platinum Diplomat/Asylum Records Recording Rapper and CEO of Diplomat Records was shot after midnight today at a light after leaving club H2O in South West DC.

Driving by himself, Cam’ron was approached by the car-jacker shortly after becoming separated from his security on Water Street. While Cam’Ron was sitting at a red light, the assailant approached the car, grabbed at the door, and motioned for Cam’Ron to get out of the vehicle. Refusing to give up his 2006 Lamborghini (royal blue), the assailant then fired several shots at Cam’Ron. One of the bullets plowed through his arm and traveled into the other.

Cam’Ron drove himself immediately to Howard University Hospital. DC Police immediately recovered the assailant’s vehicle and cell phone.

Cam’Ron’s infamous Rap Group, The Diplomats have sold millions of records.

Group members, Juelz Santana who was in town to promote his forthcoming sophomore album, What The Game’s Been Missing  and Jim Jones who was additionally in town promoting his newly released album, Diary of A Summer arrived to Howard University Hospital minutes after Cam’Ron’s admittance. The group was in the DC area performing at various night clubs such as The Ave and Kili’s Kafe’ in celebration of Howard University’s Homecoming Weekend.

He is listed in stable condition. “Cam’Ron will be just fine. He’s in good spirits. He’s cracking jokes and is expected to be released shortly. He even asked the nurse for her phone number when he woke up”, says his Manager, Joseph Sherman of New Era Entertainment.

Cam’Ron’s next highly anticipated album and feature film, KILLA SEASON, will be released on February 14, 2006.
