Law enforcements later caught up with him in June the following year, almost a year later and took him into custody where he was determined to be fit for trial as an adult.
The first murder investigation that he was involved in was as a witness to murder hence making the rapper a key witness to this crime committed by his band counterpart Erick. According to witnesses, the two attended a party and, on their way back in separate cars, a confrontation with another third person ensued which led to a fatal shooting.
The second pending case involved a robbery heist gone wrong in which the targeted victim ended up dead. Several other mugging and murder charges have been laid against him, some of which were committed during his time on the run but with positive witness IDs.
