point he was asked to come up and be a commentator, when he complemented a ring girl on her looks.
The organizers asked Terrell if 50 Cent can come to the next event, scheduled for Coney Island, sources said.
Terrell said the two didn’t talk about his case, just shot the breeze on everything from sports to finances.
“He was really a regular guy,” Terrell said. “It was like hanging out with a friend that you had for 20 years.”
Terrell has been sued multiple times on allegations of false arrests, including that of Hernandez.
Hernandez was locked up for a year at Rikers Island after being arrested for the 2015 shooting in which a 15-year-old boy was shot in the ankle. He maintained his innocence, but was unable to pay his $100 bail.
The teen was finally released from Rikers on July 27 after the nonprofit Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights group put up his bail. During his time in jail, he established himself as an honors student, and supporters say he landed a college scholarship.
In September, the charges against Hernandez were dropped after a key witness stopped cooperating, and the victim couldn’t identify whom the triggerman was. He is still facing charges in an unrelated robbery.
Hernandez is suing Terrell and the NYPD over his arrest.
On Tuesday, Hernandez ended up behind bars again when he was arrested for driving with a suspended license in Washington Heights, officials said. A HONDURAN man killed himself in a Texas jail cell last month after being separated from his wife and family at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Marco Antonio Muñoz, 39, took his own life after suffering a breakdown in custody, according to a sheriff’s department report obtained by The Washington Post.
Muñoz was found unresponsive in a pool of blood on the floor of his cell on May 13. An article of clothing was twisted around his neck, according to the report.
The grisly incident took place after the White House began enforcing its “zero tolerance” policy on illegal immigration, which calls for the prosecution of all individuals who enter the country illegally and separates parents from their children.
The controversial crackdown has torn nearly 1,800 families apart, according to reports.
Border Patrol agents, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said Muñoz crossed the Rio Grande near Granjeno, Texas, with his wife and 3-year-old son a day before his death.
After being taken into custody, Muñoz and his family were transferred to a processing facility where they tried to apply for asylum, according to the report.
When agents told Muñoz the family would be separated, he “lost it,” one agent told the Washington Post. “They had to use physical force to take the child out of his hands.”
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials declined to comment on the tragedy.
