A popular hip-hop deejay (Megatron, 32), who was also, a 106 & Park, TV personality was gunned down in cold blood; just steps away from his Staten Island home yesterday — and left with a single dollar in his wallet, law-enforcement officials said.
Corey McGriff, which is his real name, may have been distracted and talking on his cell phone, when he was shot in the chest around 2 am on Osgood Avenue near Vanderbilt Avenue in Clifton sources said. But McGriff’s mother believe that her son was in the wrong place at the wrong time, suggesting that the motive was robbery.
Although there are no eye-witnesses to the shooting, police sources said they’ve all but ruled out a street stick up and are looking at several scenarios, including whether someone was angry over being stiffed on a debt owed by McGriff.
Three months ago, a person using the name “Megapayup” raged against McGriff on YouTube:
“Megatron, i use to think he was mad cool . . . I always helped him out when ever he needed it. . . . This one time tho, I was the fool. “Who hides and tries to dodge people they owe. . . . So u say ur not gonna pay the bill. . . . Bad shyt will stay happening to u, cuz you do bad.”
McGriff leaves behind 3 children: 11, 4 and 9 months old.
