Minaj's new boyfriend wasn't just convicted of attempted rape -- he also
went to prison for killing a guy ... and now we know the story behind
his manslaughter conviction. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ...
Nicki's new man, Kenneth Petty, rolled up on Lamont Robinson one early
morning in April 2002 and opened fire on him on a street corner in
Queens, NY.We're told Petty drove to the crime scene with a group of
cohorts, hopped out of the car, walked across the street where Robinson
was hanging out, pulled out a gun ... and shot him in the stomach 3
times. Our sources say he then fled in the vehicle with the group. We're
told police who investigated the crime at the time did not believe
robbery was a motive -- they suspected it to be a targeted hit over a
gang beef. One investigator who was on the OG case told us he could only
recall the shooting was over some "bulls***."According to court docs,
obtained by TMZ, Lamont -- who only survived for a short time -- ID'd
Kenneth in a photo lineup when police went to question him in the
hospital. The docs say he nodded his head to confirm Kenneth had shot
him, as he couldn't speak. He died soon afterward.Kenneth was initially
charged with 2nd-degree murder, but pled guilty to a lesser charge of
1st-degree manslaughter. He served 7 years in prison, and got released
in 2013.Nicki Minaj's new man killed a man in cold blood. He walked up to his victim on a street corner and shot him dead
