Keith B. Hudson

DETROIT, MI -- Wayne County prosecutors didn't buy his self-defense claim.

Keith B. Hudson, the 41-year-old owner of Detroit's Hip Hop Shop, a one-time proving ground for aspiring rappers like Eminem, the group D12 and producer producer J Dilla, is now facing the possibility of life in prison.

Wayne County Prosecutor' Kym Worthy's office says Hudson, who held a valid CPL, shot multiple times and killed 26-year-old Marcel Dubose about 9:20 p.m. Oct. 10. Despite claims made Hudson that he was defending himself when Dubose, a father and mixed-martial arts competitor tried to rob him, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy charged Hudson with first-degree murder Monday.

Hudson is also charged with manslaughter and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.

"The facts and the evidence in this case will be introduced in court at the preliminary examination," is all Worthy said in her charging statement.
