Gunna And Young Thug Arrested?

Young Thug, the Grammy Award-winning rapper, was arrested on Monday, May 9 and booked into Atlanta’s Fulton County Jail on gang-related charges.

Young Thug, real name Jeffery Lamar Williams, 30, was charged with one count of attempted murder and one count of participating in criminal street gang activity after authorities accused him of renting a car used in a 2015 drive-by shooting that killed Donovan Thomas, 26.

Atlanta rapper Gunna, whose real name is Sergio Kitchens, and aspiring rapper Christian Eppinger, who was already in jail after being accused of shooting an Atlanta Police officer six times in February, were also indicted on Monday, May 9. It was unclear whether Gunna, who is charged with conspiracy to violate the state’s RICO act, had been arrested.

According to the indictment, Young Thug is one of three founders of the Young Slime Life, a “criminal street gang that began in late 2012” in Atlanta. According to officials, YSL is linked to the national Bloods gang. The charges include “preserving, protecting, and enhancing the enterprise’s reputation, power, and territory through racketeering activity such as murder, assault, and threats of violence.”
