A Dublin rapper who was convicted in August of shooting a man twice and then sharing a rap song he wrote about the shooting was sentenced on Monday to 40 years. Judge Donny Gillis sentenced Rico Todriquez Wright, 25, on two counts of aggravated assault for shooting Chad Blue, 28, of Dublin. Wright must serve 20 years of his sentence in prison, the rest on probation.
Blue had testified that sometime after the shooting a friend had come to visit him and played a song for him on a CD. "I heard the song." Blue said, "and I recognized Rico's voice. The song was called ‘Hitting Licks for a Living' and there's a line that says 'Chad Blue knows how I shoot'."
