TAMPA, Fla – Two suspects wanted for felony battery following a Nado Wick concert at Club Skye in Tampa turned themselves in to the Tampa Police Department.

Edward A. Hamlett, 15, is charged with Felony Battery and Minor in Possession of a Firearm While Wearing a Mask.
Attempting to request a photo with rapper Nardo Wick, a fan received much more than he bargained for, as the rapper’s entourage launched a vicious assault that hospitalized the 20-year-old man and prompted a police investigation into the incident.
On Monday, November 27, 2023, at approximately 1:17 a.m., following a concert at Club Skye in Tampa, George Obregon Jr., 20, attempted to approach the performer, Nardo Wick, for a photo when individuals sucker-punched the victim.
Eyewitnesses told police when the victim tried to get a picture, Benton punched him without provocation and Hamlett then ran over and punched the victim several more times. The victim was transported to a local hospital.
Michelle Obregon, the mother of the victim, asked witnesses to come forward along with an Instagram video of the incident.
“My son wanted a stupid (expletive) picture with his favorite artist … and this is what he gets,” she said. “As a mother, I am begging you to help get justice for George Obregon Jr. Anyone who knows my son knows he is the sweetest and gentlest kid ever. No drugs, alcohol, gang, nothing! I am dying here and my (expletive) heart is hurting so bad I am sick to my stomach.”
