American rapper, YFN Lucci has turned himself in to Atlanta police after a warrant was issued for his arrest in connection to a fatal shooting last month.
YFN Lucci, whose real name is Rayshawn Bennett, turned himself in on Wednesday night and is currently being held in Fulton County Jail.
Atlanta Police announced Tuesday that he was wanted on charges of felony murder, aggravated assault, participation in street gang activity and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
The police said the rapper was wanted on the multiple charges in connection with his alleged role in the Dec. 10 shooting death of 28-year-old James Adams.
It was learnt that police officers were dispatched to Peeples Street, S.W., at about 5:20 p.m. on the day of the shooting. When they arrived, officers said they found 28-year-old James Adams lying in the street suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.
The victim was immediately taken to Grady Memorial Hospital where he died.
A short time later, a second victim, Kevin Wright, 32, arrived at an area fire station by private vehicle with a gunshot wound to his abdomen, the report states.
Homicide investigators determined the two shootings were likely related. They ultimately identified three individuals tied to the shootings, including 29-year-old YFN Lucci.
The other two suspects were previously apprehended, police said, adding that YFN Lucci turned himself in and is currently at the Fulton County Jail.
This is coming just a few days after another American rapper, DaBaby was arrested after the police found a loaded handgun in his possession while shopping at Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, California.
