The killing of Nicki Minaj's cousin Nicholas Telemaque may have been a case of mistaken identity, it's been reported.
Nicholas Telemaque, 27, was shot dead close to his home in Brooklyn on Monday morning (July 4).
His cousin Carol Clarke told RadarOnline.com: “His friends have told us there wasn’t any trouble that night and we believe it could have been a case of mistaken identity but the police are still investigating the case.
“We are still trying to make arrangements for his funeral but I will really miss him because he was a good person.”
On Monday, Minaj paid tribute to her cousin, describing him as “my precious cousin. My baby.”
