UPDATE 9:00 AM EST ============
YFN Lucci turned himself in to Atlanta police last night and CNN reports the rapper is being held at the Fulton County jail. This after authorities offered a $5000 reward for information leading to his arrest on a felony murder charge. Police believe YFN Lucci is involved with the murder of 28-year-old James Adams on December 10th. TMZ reports Adams was seen being thrown from a moving SUV, and witnesses said he had a mortal gunshot blast to his head. Adams was later pronounced dead at Grady Memorial Hospital.
We’re told that just a few minutes later that same night, a man named Kevin Wright, 32, was also shot, but sought care at a local fire department and survived his wounds. Two others have also been arrested and charged with felony murder over the incident; 23-year-old Ra’von Boyd and 17-year-old Leroy Pitts.
In addition, YFN Lucci faces charges of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, aggravated assault, and participation in street gang activities. We’ll bring you more updates as soon as they are available. Until the next time it drips….
============================
Atlanta rapper YFN Lucci, real name Rayshawn Bennett, 29, is wanted in Atlanta, Georgia for felony murder. Cops told TMZ he’s also looking at aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and participating in gang activities.
What happened? Apparently last month there were two men shot within just a few minutes of each other in Southwest Atlanta. One man was killed by a gunshot blast to the head and the other was injured but said to be still alive. Police have already apprehended two suspects in connection with the shooting – 23-year-old Ra’von Boyd and 17-year-old Leroy Pitts. They’ve both been charged with felony murder – now cops want YFN Lucci.
It’s being reported there is actually a $5000 reward for information on his capture. It’s a shame too, because things had been going so well recently for the “Dope Game” rhymer. He recently released a hit album just before Christmas and was also gifted a brand new Maybach Mercedes from his record label for all his successes.
We’ll keep you updated – until the next time it drips…
