The Bronx District Attorney's Office confirms that Chalim Perry, better known as drill rapper Sha EK, has been arrested and charged in connection with a shooting in Mott Haven that sent three people to the hospital seven months ago. Using a combination of witness accounts, security footage and ballistics, police say they were able to zero in on 21-year-old Perry, who has over 340,000 subscribers on YouTube. Most younger residents of the Patterson Houses who spoke with News 12 said they had heard of him. One said, "he ain't bad." Resident Lilou says Sha EK's name is "always being brought up around here," but also says it is usually not in a good way. Off camera, residents say that the gang Sha EK is connected with is not welcome in that neighborhood, so if he really was in the Patterson Houses, they are not surprised there was trouble. Court documents show Perry now faces 23 charges, including three counts of attempted murder. It was almost exactly two years ago that Mayor Eric Adams specifically called out drill rap music for an increase in violence, with Nahies Castro, who lives near where the shooting happed, saying drill rappers "talk about shootings, and killings and beating ups and fights." Because of that, and the history, another neighbor says, "what they rap is probably true. (Sha EK) did what he had to do." Perry has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges, and is due back in court Friday.
