The second man who's accused of fatally shooting G$ Lil Ronnie and his 5-year-old daughter has been apprehended by police.
According to TMZ, Jakobie Russell, 21, was arrested on Friday, March 7, after he spent a few days on the run. It's not clear exactly where he was picked up. Russell is being held at the Lon Evans Corrections Center in Fort Worth, which isn't far from where the shooting happened last week. The outlet reports he was charged with capital murder of multiple persons, assault of a pregnant person, and assault causing bodily harm.
Russell was arrested shortly after his alleged accomplice Adonis Robinson, 24, was arrested in Livingston, Texas. Police identified both men during a press conference held last Wednesday. Forest Hills Police Chief David Hernandez called Russell and Robinson "cowards" after detailing the allegations against them. They're accused of fatally shooting Ronnie and his daughter R'Mani while the two were seated inside the rapper's vehicle at a car wash last Monday afternoon. The Forth Worth native, born Ronnie Sibley, tried to run from the alleged shooters but they chased him and fired the final bullets that ended his life.
Ronnie and R'Mani were pronounced dead on the scene. Russell and Robinson fled the scene in a white, four-door Kia. According to WFAA, the car belonged to one of the suspect's girlfriends. She told police the men parked the getaway car in an apartment complex and told her to pick it up because "something bad had happened."
In the aftermath of the shooting, Ronnie and his daughter's family and friends held a balloon release in their honor at the same car wash where they were killed. Check out scenes from the memorial below.
