Rapper Lil Baby reacts to be named in the arrest warrant, which connects him to a fatal shootout of 2 Atlanta Teens

Atlanta, GA. (Atlanta News First) – The team of the Rapper Lil Baby, based in Atlanta, reacted to the Atlanta police, which refers him in connection with a fatal shootout and was named in an arrest warrant.

In a statement, lawyers from Dominique Jones, also known as a baby, said the reference to the rapper in connection with the murders of two teenagers last year was complete and totally nonsense.

The case dates from 2024, when 13-year-old Lamon Freeman and Jakody Davis were killed in a drive-by shooting in the Sparks Street in the southwest of Atlanta, who also injured a 12-year-old.

Here is the complete explanation of Drew Findling and Marissa Goldberg from the Findling law firm on behalf of Lil Baby:

“The part of the press conference on Wednesday by the Atlanta police authority, which made an obvious reference to Dominique Jones, was complete and total nonsense. To say that he could not turn a music video in his hometown, a place he loves and further increased is shameful. The place for a large music video shoot is a decision by a professional team and not a decision by a person. It is unprofessional, unethical and shameful. Dominique is destroyed in relation to the situation because these children came from the same quarter he made, and he will continue to build up his community as he can. “

On Wednesday, the Atlanta police announced seven arrests in the case.

The suspects were identified as:

  • Richard Hollis
  • Ali Caldwell
  • Reginald Thomas
  • Markus Crawford
  • Quiyontay Sanders
  • Deakeheon Mobley
  • Tradon Crawford

During a press conference on Wednesday, the Atlanta police said that the shootout was created from a hit, which was called by a detained high -ranking member of the Goodfellas Criminal Street Gang who interrupted a smuggling handphone using smuggling feelings.

The command was said to be a reaction to a rapper in Atlanta who made a music video in competing areas the gang months ago, the police said during the press conference.

“If this quarter is touched and can claim the life of two 13-year-olds, she can claim the life of every neighborhood,” said police chief in Schierbaum.

APD murder commander Ralph Woolfolk called the Goodfellas gang “hyperviolent”.

“Lamon Freeman was allowed to be a 13-year-old for 27 minutes before the violence of the gangs ultimately committed suicide,” said Woolfolk. “Gang violence that was orchestrated by adults, adults in our city and cowardly acts of a rapper based in Atlanta who decided to take over the fortress of a rival gang and to turn a music video in a place where he shouldn't have been.”

Woolfolk did not name the rapper based in Atlanta, but an arrest warrant confirms that he is a small baby but the real name Dominique Jones. According to the arrest warrant, Jones is a subsidiary of four pockets Full (4PF), which the police described as a criminal street gang, which is involved in a long-standing feud with only my family (OMF), a subset of the goodfellas gang.

Last May, Jones went on a music video at the 2100 block of Verbena Street NW, an area of ​​which it is known to be frequented by OMF members.

“Before the video shoot was able to take place, Jones and his employees were accepted by several attackers,” says the arrest warrant.

The police said three people were injured in the shootout, and small baby was almost beaten.

“After the incident in the video shoot, a number of tightened attacks and murders took place between the two gangs in the following weeks,” says the arrest warrant.

After the incident, OMF members were targeted in the 2500 block of the Center Street, several miles north, and an innocent victim was murdered, which, according to the arrest warrant, led to “consecutive retaliation between the gangs”.

On June 29, OMF member Travante Turner was killed in a place on Peyton Place in the southwest of Atlanta, of which the police are OMF Territory.

The police learned: “Turner's death led to several OMF members gathered about social media and wireless devices in order to take revenge for the death of Turner against 4pf members.”

A few days later, Jakody Davis and Lamon Freeman were killed in the triple shootings in the Sparks Street.
