2 Arrested For DJ Megatron Murder

DJ Megatron, the rising hip-hop star murdered a block from his Staten Island, NY home last month, was killed for his cash and a wristwatch given to him by his 11-year-old daughter, cops and his family said Wednesday.

According to a story by Joe Kemp at  nydailynews.com, the sad revelation came after police announced the arrest of William Williams, 21, and Richard Cromwell, 20, for the murder of the 32-year-old, whose real name was Corey McGriff.

The two men approached McGriff about 2 a.m. March 27 and one of the men fired a single shot in the DJ's body, killing him, police said.

The pair swiped a wad of cash from McGriff's pocket and the watch off his wrist, police and family said.

McGriff's father said the arrest comes as little consolation in the death of their son, a former radio personality on Hot 97 and regular on BET's "106 & Park."

"That's good that they caught them," he said. "They're locked up for now. Life in prison would be good for them."

Williams - who has prior arrests that include robbery and rape - and Cromwell - who's rap sheet includes arrests for reckless endangerment and grand larceny - were both charged with murder, robbery and criminal possession of a weapon.
