Atlanta rapper, Young Thug, has been identified as the alleged gunman in an incident that occurred in 2013.
According to HipHopDX, an unknown woman pointed him out as the one who had the gun at the time of the incident.
On Tuesday, February 20, 2024, the prosecution team played a recording of a 911 call that occurred on September 11, 2013, by an unidentified woman at the trial.
As the call was being played, the woman identified the artiste, whose real name is Jeffrey Lamar Williams, as the shooter of a mutual friend, before going ahead to say she wasn’t sure of who it could be.
“They came to my house and told me that the guy who shot somebody’s name was Young Thug, whoever that’s supposed to be,” the woman said in the recording, while also making clear that the injured friend was not in immediate danger.
