Michael Martin is charged with attempted second-degree murder in connection with the shooting of up-and-coming rapper Christian Moore, 16, also known as C Glizzy. Prosecutors said in court that Moore was shot in the head June 15 and is lucky to be alive. The judge granted Martin a $250,000 bond on the attempted second-degree murder charge. The dispute continued as everyone exited the store and Martin started shooting as Moore, his brother and another friend were driving away, authorities said.
