Atlanta rapper Future reportedly has little to no information for law enforcement trying to find out who is responsible for the fatal shooting of his former bodyguard Michael Tanner Phillips.
According to the latest reports, cops did not gain any new details on finding the killer from the Atlanta native.
Sources close to Future tell us he’s devastated by Big Mike’s sudden death but hasn’t worked with him since 2012. We’re told Future has no information about what went down in the moments leading up to Mike’s death. But at the same time we’re told he refuses to talk to cops … even to say he knows nothing. (TMZ)
Details of police’s interest in speaking to Future developed earlier in the week.
Police in Georgia want to talk to Future to see if he can help them find whoever killed his former bodyguard. Cops say they don’t have any suspects in custody yet, but they have several leads. They’re interested in talking to all of Phillips’ friends, including Future, to see if they have info that could narrow the search for the gunman. (TMZ)
The rap veteran paid homage to Phillips on Twitter this week.

Details of the fatal shooting surfaced across the Internet early Tuesday (January 26).
Police are currently investigating the murder. Lt. Frank Thomas of the Clayton County Police Department said Phillips’ wife was at home with him when the shooting occurred, but she was not present in the same room while it happened. Thomas added, “Some of the neighbors heard some arguing and some gunshots. We are still interviewing some of them and trying to just piece together everything at this time.” (Pitchfork)
