Two members of Nardo Wick’s entourage, including a 15-year-old, turned themselves in to police after a fan was beaten for asking for a photo with the Florida rapper.
Zachary Benton, 34, and Edward Hamlett, 15, turned themselves in to Tampa police on Friday, according to WFLA.
They were each charged with felony assault, and Hamlett also received an additional charge of possessing a weapon as a minor, law enforcement sources told TMZ.
Fan George Obregon, 20, was left in critical condition with a brain hemorrhage and concussion after he allegedly walked to Walls in hopes of meeting his “favorite artist.”
He was caught off guard and Benton punched him first before Hamlett approached and continued crying until he fell unconscious, according to TMZ.
The suspects were reportedly not close to Wick, whose legal name is Horace Bernard Walls III.

“I want everyone to see what these motherfuckers did to my son,” the VIP ticket holder’s mother, Michelle Obregón, said Monday. “At no point was my son aggressive, at no damn time did he show any signs of harm! My son wanted a stupid photo with his favorite artist! And this is what he gets! My stomach hurts thinking about how this could have turned out!
“Anyone who knows my son knows he is the sweetest, gentlest child who ever lived. No drugs, alcohol, gangs, nothing! I’m dying here and my damn heart hurts so much my stomach hurts. “I can’t stay silent.”
Obregón’s father, George Obregón Sr., accused the rapper of not cooperating with police.

“We do not know the name of the suspect because the rapper has not identified them. [Wick] He’s not talking. He doesn’t want to cooperate,” the father previously told the Daily Mail.
The two men allegedly spoke with the rapper before turning themselves in, TMZ reported.

“I do not agree with the situation that happened, I was completely unaware of the situation that was about to happen,” he said.
“As soon as it happened, I tried to calm the situation down, and after the situation I contacted his mom and told her I would do anything to make it up to him as a fan.”
