A lot of R Kelly associates seem to be going down, but for now, nothing concrete has stuck to R Kelly.
Before the Surviving R Kelly debuted they had a screening for it, but it was shut down because someone threatened to shoot the people inside.
The cops believe they know who that person was.
Law enforcement sources tell us … NYPD has Donnel Russell listed as a person of interest for the incident that went down last month in NYC. We know Russell is a business associate of Kelly. We’re told police want to speak to him about the threats that were phoned into a theater as it was showing the Lifetime docuseries.
As we reported … someone called the NeueHouse just 20 minutes into the screening, and warned someone in the audience would start shooting up the place if the program continued. The venue was immediately evacuated.
Cops tracked the number down to a man with a Chicago-based 773 area code. We’re told police have connected that number to Russell, and have attempted to make contact with him, but have had no luck thus far in reaching him directly.
Russell has gone missing now that the cops are looking for him.
