Second suspect in killings of rapper G$ Lil Ronnie and daughter in custody in Tarrant jail
The second suspect wanted in the slayings of a Fort Worth rapper and his 5-year-old daughter at a Forest Hill car wash has been arrested.
Jakobie Russell, 21, was booked into the Fort Worth city jail about 5 p.m. Friday and then transferred to the Tarrant County Jail later Friday evening, jail records show.
Russell turned himself in to U.S Marshals with the help of his attorney, according to a statement from Forest Hill police.
Russell’s arrest comes one day after the other suspect in the capital murder case, 24-year-old Adonis Robinson, was arrested in a town outside Houston. Robinson was arrested in Livingston by Fort Worth police and the Texas Rangers.
Robinson will be transported to Tarrant County in “a few days” as extradition documentation is pending, according to Friday’s statement.
The two men are accused in the Monday shooting deaths of Ronnie “G$ Lil Ronnie” Sibley and his daughter R’mani Sibley.
Police have not commented on a motive for the shooting, but security camera video from Slappy’s Express Car Wash appears to show the two gunmen targeted Sibley.
