Official statement from the Martino family and T-Vice Management

Most of you are aware of the situation which transpired on Saturday, September 12, 2009 at the Ramada Hotel in Sunny Isles. Those of you who are not aware, a Cocktail glass was thrown onto the stage as T-Vice was finishing up their set and hit Roberto on the head. Immediately 911 were dispatched, the party ended and the ambulance took Roberto to the hospital for further assessment. Now, resting at home, Roberto and his family are asking for the publics help.

A substantial monetary reward will be rendered to persons who have valuable information that leads to the arrest of all individuals involved in this incident. Law enforcement officers have been working diligently to solve this violent crime and the Martino family, along with the Police Department is asking for a unified force by the community in helping bring justice to light.

Surrounded by family and friends, Roberto is recovering well but the fact remains that a crime was committed and the criminal at large must be held accountable for his or her actions.

As a unified force, fans have continued to say how their safety has declined during compromising situations at clubs around the U.S., now is the time to act on our words and help crack down on these dangerous thugs, in hopes of taking a stand for the entire Haitian Music Industry.

Those who have any valuable information, and any witnesses to this malicious act please email tvicesejazzmwen@aol.com or call 305-519-7676.

Only serious eye witnesses with factual reports that will lead to an arrest will be accepted.

The Martino Family as a whole agrees that these heinous acts against musicians who are only doing their jobs as Ambassadors of Haitian Music throughout the world, will not and cannot be tolerated, therefore please make sure that as fans and as members of the media, this message is spread throughout emails, web board forums, threads, Facebook, My Space, radio stations, as well as television stations.

We thank you for the continued prayers and well wishes and we trust that those involved will be apprehended very soon with your help.

Se pou Roberto fe atensyion. Gan le gen anpil jalouzi lan bagay la.

[YesWeCanHaiti]

When I go to T-Vice parties, I see people from the entire social layer of the Haitian society. Yes, you'll hear sometimes people say XYZ are mulattos, but at the same time 90% of T-Vice's fans are not mulattos.

Don't exaggerate.
