Two members of Nardo Wick’s entourage – including a 15-year-old – turned themselves in to police after a fan was beaten for asking for a picture with the Florida rapper.
Zachary Benton, 34, and Edward Hamlett, 15, turned themselves in to Tampa Police on Friday, according to WFLA.
They were each charged with felony battery and Hamlett also received an additional charge of possession of a gun by a minor, law enforcement sources told TMZ.
Fan George Obregon, 20, was left in critical condition with a brain bleed and concussion after he allegedly walked up to Walls hoping to meet his “favorite artist.”
He was blind and Benton hit him first before Hamlett left and continued to mourn him until he passed out, according to TMZ.
The suspect is reportedly not closely related to Wick, whose legal name is Horace Bernard Walls III.

“I want everyone to see what these mothers did to my son,” said the mother of VIP ticket holder, Michelle Obregon, on Monday. “Whenever my son is not aggressive, he shows no signs of danger! My son wants a stupid f-in’ picture with his favorite artist! And this is what he got! I’m sick of thinking how this could happen!
“Anyone who knows my son knows he is the sweetest and gentlest child. No drugs, alcohol, gangs, nothing! I’m dying here and my heart hurts so much that I’m sick to my (my) stomach. I can’t keep quiet.”
Obregon’s father, George Obregon Sr., accused the rapper of not cooperating with police.

“We do not know the names of the suspects because the rapper has not identified them. [Wick] not talking. He didn’t want to cooperate,” his father previously told the Daily Mail.

“I can’t stand the situation that is happening, I am not aware of the situation that is about to happen,” he said.
“As soon as it happened, I tried to defuse the situation, and after the situation I got in touch with his mum, I told her I would do anything to replace him as a fan.”
