The mother of a well-known Wilmington rapper says she believes her son's shooting death was an act of retaliation.
Trudy Boardley tells The News Journal of Wilmington that her 31-year-old son, Robert Teat, who went by the name Bobby Dimes, was gunned down Monday and died from his injuries Tuesday.
Police released few details and no suspect information about the shooting.
Boardley is convinced his death was an act of retaliation. Court documents show Teat was arrested Nov. 2 and charged with shooting at a man in early October. He was also wanted in connection to various other charges over the last decade.
His mother says many were envious of Teat's talent as a rapper and his rise to local fame with the popular song, "Out Delaware."
