ATLANTA - Police are searching for a well-known Atlanta rapper on multiple charges related to a shooting death over the weekend.
Rayshawn Bennett, 29, who goes by the stage name YFN Lucci, is wanted for felony murder and aggravated assault, among other charges, in connection to 28-year-old James Adams's death on December 10, 2020.
Atlanta police said Adams was found shot around 5:20 p.m. in the middle of the 900 blocks of Peeples Street SW. He was rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he later died.
Later identified as 32-year-old Kevin Wright, a second victim arrived at Atlanta Fire Station 14 in a personal vehicle. Police said he suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen. He was rushed to the hospital for treatment and had since been recovering from those injuries.
Investigators linked the two shootings, and with the help of the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, were able to identify Bennett and two others.
Raven Boyd, 23, and Leroy Pitts, 17, have since been taken into custody in South Florida thanks to the help of the Miami-Dade Police Department, City of Miami Police Department, The US Attorney’s Office in Miami, and the FBI Field Office in Miami. They face similar charges to Bennett, who is still on the run.
