Shocking new evidence has come to light in the past 24 hours linking Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson to the shooting of 50 Cent.

New reports suggest that Jackson fired nine shots into the G Unit rapper’s SUV at close range but failed to finish him off.

For many years, now-deceased Mike Tyson associate Darryl ‘Hommo’ Baum, was believed to be the shooter, but police reopened the investigation after observing Jackson’s performances for Chelsea season, in which he has missed shot after shot, spurning 11 big chances in the process.

The detective in charge of the investigation told reporters, ‘shooting someone nine times at that distance, and for them to survive, is virtually impossible. There are very few men capable of such a thing.’

Asked about the somewhat dubious timelines involved, with Nicolas Jackson born nearly a year after the attack, one detective admitted, ‘There are some inconsistencies, we acknowledge that, but I’ve only ever seen one man with accuracy that bad, and that man is Nicolas Jackson.’

While Jackson’s lawyers are yet to respond to the charges, today’s game against Wolves is unlikely to have dissuaded detectives, with Jackson displaying more poor shooting, bad temperament – earning his 8th yellow card of the season, and a severe lack of control.

Could it be that the accusations of Jackson on Jackson violence aren’t so farfetched after all?
