On Thursday, the Texas Rangers and Fort Worth police tracked down and arrested 24-year-old Adonis Robinson, a registered sex offender, in Livingston, Texas. The following day, 21-year-old Jakobie Russell turned himself in to Forest Hills PD. Both men are facing capital murder charges, according to police. Russell is also facing additional charges, including assault of a pregnant person.
The two men allegedly ambushed 30-year-old Ronnie “G$ Lil Ronnie” Sibley and his daughter, R’mani Sibley, while he was vacuuming his vehicle at a car wash. According to police, Robinson and Russell exited a white, four-dour Kia, approached rapper G$ Lil Ronnie and his daughter in the bay at the car wash and opened fire.
Images obtained by TMZ appear to show Sibley, also known as rapper G$ Lil Ronnie, being chased across the parking lot by two gunmen.
Sibley’s 5-year-old daughter was in the car when at least three bullets went through the windshield, killing the kindergartener. Police found her father a few feet away from the car. Both victims were pronounced dead at the scene,
Both men are being held in a Tarrant County jail. The motive for the deadly shooting remains unclear.
Police also have not said how the suspects knew Sibley but said “the music industry” is part of the investigation.
“We want to reassure the community that the Forest Hill Police Department and our law enforcement partners are continuing efforts to resolve this case and bring justice to the victims and their families,” Forest Hill police Chief David Hernandez said in his announcement.
