Cleveland rapper “Q Money” latest photo in prison. He was recently found guilty for allegedly murdering his best friend in 2019.

Rapper Q Money was found guilty of murder on Friday for the 2019 fatal shooting of another Cleveland artist in Decatur, Georgia, according to a statement from the office of the DeKalb County District Attorney.

Qamar Akee Williams, 26, of Avon, fatally shot Calvin “Scotty” Chappell, 24, of Euclid on Sept. 15, 2019. Williams was charged with malice murder, two counts of felony murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by convicted felon, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, according to court documents.

Cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer reached out to William’s family and attorney Michael T. Sterling for comments. Sterling is the husband of America’s Next Top Model star and actress Eva Marcille.

Williams and Chappell knew each other, as both men were aspiring rappers who had moved from Cleveland to the Atlanta area. In 2018, Williams scored a deal when he signed with Warner Bros. Records and Think It’s A Game Records.

The shooting happened at Chappell’s cousin’s home in the 3500 block of Lehigh Way.

The night before the shooting, Chappell, Williams and several other friends went out to a nightclub. The group returned about 5 a.m.

Chappell went to sleep, and Williams left to get food but returned shortly after 6 a.m., according to prosecutors. The incident was caught on surveillance. Williams walked up to Chappell, who was lying on an air mattress. Williams shot Chappell more than six times, prosecutors said.
