Shooting song helps catch rapper

    He shot a man twice and felt so good about
it, police say, a Dublin rapper wrote a song describing the
shooting and calling out the victim by name.

    A judge sentenced 25-year-old Rico Todriquez Wright Monday to
spend the next 20 years in prison after his victim mentioned the
hip hop confession to police.

    Twenty-eight-year-old Chad Blue told police he had known Wright
before the September 2006 shooting, but that the men weren’t
friendly. He testified companions egged Wright on as he chased and
shot his victim in the thigh and groin.

    Later, Blue told police he recognized Wright’s voice on a CD,
rapping “Chad Blue knows how I shoot.“

    Wright was sentenced to 20 years for two counts of aggravated
assault. He will spend another 20 years on probation.
