(hiphoprx.com) Jabrai Jordan Copney, a New York City songwriter, credited with writing the 2004 New Edition song "Feelin It" along with Ryan Leslie, is being charged with the fatal Harvard University shooting of a 21-year-old man on Monday, May 18 at a Harvard University dormitory allegedly over drugs.

Copney, 20, reportedly turned himself in to authorities at the Cambridge Police Station Thursday around 7:00 p.m. and has been charged with murder of Justin Cosby, 21, accessory after the fact to murder, and possession of a firearm, according to Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone. [on a side note, he was only 15 when he cowrote that New Edition song?]

Justin Cosby, reportedly, was selling drugs (marijuana) to students at Harvard which was reported Tuesday that Cosby had been arrested for Class D drug possession. Cosby was shot on Monday afternoon after three men, the defendant, Jabrai Jordan Copney, and two others traveled to Cambridge from New York City with the intention of robbing Cosby. - more on this story
