The Falsehood:

With the new allegations surfacing that Jimmy had a hand in the Tupac shooting, his lawyer spoke out: “It’s a flat out lie,” Rosemond’s lawyer Jeffrey Lichtman told the Daily News. “Dexter Isaac is not claiming this 17 years later to clear his conscience. He’s doing it because he’s told anybody who will listen he doesn’t want to die in prison. He has kids and wants to work off his sentence. He can’t be trusted.”

On The Run:
A law enforcement official confirmed that a fugitive warrant is out for Rosemond. Currently no one knows the whereabouts of Rosemond.

His lawyer, Jeffrey Lichtman said, “Although a federal prosecutor has told me that there is an arrest warrant out, they have refused to provide me with the warrant or a copy of the charges.”
