Rapper confesses to murder from 17 years ago

It took nearly two decades, but the guilt of murder finally became too much for Trevell Coleman.

Wednesday night, after years of living with the burden, Coleman, 36, walked into the 25th Precinct and shockingly confessed to the very cold case, the sources said.

The career criminal -- once signed to superstar rap mogul Shawn "Diddy" Combs' record label -- was just 18 when he fatally shot a Queens man outside an East Harlem housing project in 1993, police sources said.

"I shot and killed someone 17 years ago," Coleman told a cop in the station house.

As Coleman continued to reveal more details of the Oct. 19, 1993, murder of John Henkel outside the James Weldon Johnson Houses -- things only the killer would know -- the officer reached out to investigators at the 23rd Precinct, where the crime took place.

"It was just eating away at him," said a police source.

Coleman, who grew up in the projects, told cops he was riding a bike when he rolled up on Henkel, 32, on Park Avenue and East 114th Street and announced a robbery.

Coleman told Detective William Dunn that Henkel resisted and grabbed his .40-caliber gun.

He allegedly admitted that he pulled away and shot his victim three times in the chest.

Coleman said he fled and tossed the weapon into the East River.

Henkel was rushed to St. Luke's Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

When the detective reviewed the cold-case file, he was amazed to discover that Coleman's tale matched up.

Coleman, who has racked up more than 25 arrests since 2003 for drugs, burglary and grand larceny, was charged with murder, and is being held without bail.

"My client is presumed innocent, and the case is going to grand jury," said Coleman's lawyer, Michael Alperstein.

Coleman, who rapped under the name "G-Dep," was signed in 1998 to a $350,000, five-album deal with Combs' Bad Boy Records. His first album, "Child of the Ghetto," was released in 2001.

The song "Let's Get It" featured Coleman trading rhymes with Combs and fellow Bad Boy artist Black Rob.

Coleman no longer has ties to the label, a spokewoman said.
 
Gotta respect that, all said and done. People mature and realize the depths of the shit theyve done. Takes a bigger man to give a family closure and the risk of your own demise than it does to clown this dude. I respect dudes choice if he does.
 
Come on...a 17 yr cold case you feeling bad go repent and start doing good deeds who confesses to the 5-0.....He's not getting a pat on the back from NYPD he's looking at 25 to life ..
 
Maybe Diddy pulled Shine on him. Paid him to take another gun charge and not to smile too big. And, if too many people know his name, to change it.
 
It might be the cause of his drug problems, him trying to hide from his sins :dunno:

I can't say he's a moron for that. He killed someone. If that were your brother or friend, would you want the crime to go unsolved?

Sad story overall

Hopefully he can speak against street life, how there's another side. Everyone thinks it's some wild west video game shit.

It took 17yrs but its how real people should live their lives-honest.If you man enough to do it,you should be man enough to say you did it...dont judge someone until your in their shoe's.

I'm glad he told on himself. More criminals need to tell and get off the streets. Niggas have no integrity.
