Mike Tyson Targeted For Murder?

A contract was taken out on former boxer Mike Tyson's life after he ordered the killing of the men responsible for murdering his bodyguard, according to witness testimony on Monday in a gang trial.
The plot to kill Tyson was planned to be carried out in the summer of 2000, two months after the June death of minder Darryl Baum - the man accused of shooting rapper 50 Cent nine times in May of the same year.
Gang member Shelby Henderson testified in Brooklyn, New York Federal Court in the trial against member Abubakr Raheem. Henderson claimed that when he learned of the $50,000 bounty Tyson had offered to have their members killed; gang leader Damion 'World' Hardy planned a retaliation. The plot was later abandoned.
Raheem is currently on trial accused of driving the getaway car during two killings. Tyson confessed earlier this month he's convinced he will be murdered because he has so many enemies in his life.
The 41-year-old told the New York Post, "I already expect the worst to happen... I expect one day somebody'll blow my brains out over some BS (bulls#*t). No one gives a s*%t about Mike Tyson. Someone accuses me of a horrible crime, others say, 'Yeah, he's capable of that. Mike probably did it.'"
