New Orleans: Pro-Black Talent Agency Owner Gets Enriched by Pet Aspiring Rapper

Tyrone Fountain.

This despicable bitch dedicated her life to nurturing the “musical talent” of New Orleans’ local wildlife.

To call this “divine justice” would be an understatement!

Nola:

New Orleans police are searching for Tyrone Fountain after the 55-year-old woman he is accused of beating in the 7th Ward on Dec. 17 died Friday (Dec. 28).

Fountain, 40, was originally jailed on Dec. 19 on charges of simple robbery and second-degree battery related to the attack, which sent local talent agency owner Marla Belin to the hospital. Police said Fountain snatched a purse from Belin in the 1700 block of North Dorgenois Street.

Authorities said he then punched her several times and slammed her head to the ground. Her condition deteriorated while hospitalized in the days after the attack. She was taken off life support Friday, according to friends and family.

Three days after the attack, Fountain appeared in court, where Magistrate Judge Harry E. Cantrell set his bond at $20,000 and an Orleans Parish public defender represented him. He bonded out and police are seeking to rebook him on a charge of second-degree murder.

Belin originally grew up in northern Texas and attended Texas Tech University, but moved to New Orleans with her now ex-husband in the 2000s. She founded NOLA Talent Entertainment, an agency focused on discovering and supporting local musicians, and was well known in the city’s jazz community.

According to friends and family, Belin and Fountain both lived in the 7th Ward triangle and knew each other before the attack.
