Rockdale County Sheriff’s Department has issued an arrest warrant for Atlanta man Jamichael Jones, 33. He is wanted in connection to the killing of Atlanta rapper Trouble, 34, who was reportedly shot and killed outside Lake St. James apartment complex in Conyers on Sunday (June 5) morning, according to the police.
CBS46 News reported that the police responded to the Lake St. James apartment complex after there were reports of a shooting that happened around 3:20 a.m. When the police arrived to the scene, they found the rapper lying on the ground from a gunshot wound. He was then transported to a hospital in the area where he was later pronounced dead.
Trouble’s record label Def Jam released a statement on their Instagram account saying, “Our thoughts and prayers are with the children, loved ones, and fans of Trouble. A true voice for his city and an inspiration to the community he proudly represented. RIP Skoob.”
