From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A star-studded music video shoot in New York was interrupted by gunfire that killed a bodyguard for rapper Busta Rhymes.
Missy Elliot, Busta Rhymes and G-Unit members including Lloyd Banks were scheduled to be filming on a ninth-floor soundstage when violence erupted outside the Brooklyn building early yesterday, police Sgt. Kevin Farrell said.
Israel Ramirez, 29, was killed with a single shot to the chest, Farrell said.
Some 500 people were gathered for the Busta Rhymes video, and it was unclear how many had been outside when shots were fired.
Investigators took possession of a nearby parked car that was hit by the gunfire. They were still trying to determine early today what led to the violence, Farrell said.
