The nephew of “Guwop” rapper Young Thug has been arrested for the murder of his girlfriend.
Fardereen Deonta Grier allegedly shot Destiny Fitzpatrick in the face in Atlanta, Georgia on Wednesday.
It was reported the incident followed an argument that was overheard by a neighbor. When officers arrived at the scene, they discovered Grier crying inside the home, and the victim lying near the front door.
Before Grier confessed to the shooting, he initially told officers that the tragedy occurred while he had been fighting off two armed and masked intruders.
After Grier actually told the truth and confessed it was him who shot his girlfriend, police arrested him and took him into custody.
Grier is currently being held at Cobb County Jail, where Young Thug last month watched a hearing in his own case after being booked for conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and participating in criminal street gang activity.
During the June. 3 hearing, which the musician watched remotely, the 30-year-old rapper was denied bond by Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville in Fulton County.
Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Williams, is expected to stand trial on Jan. 9, 2023, Judge Glanville said in court.
Now, it seems both family members, are to stand trial for their crimes.
But he’s a good boy
