According to KTLA several people have been detained and one man was arrested after deputies raided a home leased to YG in connection with a deadly shootout and pursuit earlier this month, authorities said Thursday.
Tyquan Williams, 29, was arrested on suspicion of a weapons-related charge and is being held on $25,000 bail, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. No details were released about those detained.
The department confirmed the raid was linked to a chase involving an SUV registered to YG that led to a deadly shootout involving deputies in Compton on July 3.
People inside the SUV fired shots at deputies pursuing the vehicle, authorities said, and a pedestrian was killed in the crossfire. The innocent victim was later identified as 65-year-old Ricky Starks of Compton.
Some of the officers sustained minor wounds while one deputy was actually struck by gunfire and suffered a graze wound, according to sheriff’s officials.
One person was taken into custody while another possible suspect was still being sought, authorities said at the time.
YG, whose birth name is Keenon Daequan Ray Jackson, denied being involved in the incident in a July 5 tweet. Officials said he was not present during the raid Thursday morning.
I was nowhere near the scene of this incident, I was in Hollywood recording in the studio all day. I was there until after midnight on the 4th of July and didn’t learn of these events until after they happened!
