Authorities have arrested one suspect in connection with the fatal shooting of North Texas rapper G$ Lil Ronnie and his 5-year-old daughter, R’mani Sibley, at a Forest Hill car wash.
Arrest Details
Forest Hill Police Chief David Hernandez confirmed that 24-year-old Adonis Robinson was taken into custody in Livingston, Texas, about 75 miles east of Houston. Robinson, along with 21-year-old Jakobe Russell, is accused of opening fire on Monday at Slappy’s Car Wash, killing the rapper and his young daughter.
Police are still searching for Russell, who remains at large.
What Led to the Shooting?
Investigators have not disclosed a motive, though they indicated that the case involves “the music industry.” It remains unclear how the suspects knew the rapper.
Surveillance images obtained by TMZ appear to show Ronnie being chased through the parking lot before being shot.
Family’s Statement
Ronnie’s family revealed that he had stopped in Forest Hill to see his daughter just minutes before the attack. A family spokesperson, Bishop Rodney McIntosh, expressed the mother’s devastation, urging anyone with information to come forward.
Ronnie also leaves behind a 12-year-old daughter, now grieving the loss of both her father and younger sister.
Suspect’s Criminal History
Robinson has a history of violent offenses and is a registered sex offender. In 2019, he was convicted of assaulting a woman near Marine Creek Reservoir.
Ongoing Investigation
Authorities have not revealed what led them to Robinson’s location in Livingston. Meanwhile, the search for Russell continues.
Texas Times will provide updates as more information becomes available.
