Young Thug, whose true name is Jeffery Lamar Williams, was arrested in a leased Buckhead house and is presently being held at Fulton County Jail.
The accusations in the grand jury indictment against the 28 members and affiliates of Young Slime Life, better known as “YSL”.
It includes the conspiracy to violate the RICO Act, murder, armed robbery, and involvement in criminal street gang activities, according to WSBTV reporter Michael Seiden.
In addition to the aforementioned allegations, Young Thug has been accused of hiring a 2014 Infiniti Q50 vehicle from Hertz. It was the same vehicle that was used in the murder of a rival gang member, Donovan Thomas Jr, in 2015.
Prosecutors believe that two YSL colleagues, Christian Eppinger and Antonio Sumlin, sought to gain authorization from Young Thug to try to assassinate the victim again.

Following his arrest, The Sun contacted Young Thug’s representative for comment. The allegations leveled against Young Thug are all felonies.
“I’ll give you the reaction to any allegation: Mr. Williams committed no crime whatsoever. And we will fight until the last drop of blood to exonerate him,” his defense attorney Brian Steel said in a statement.
The hitman’s mug photo was revealed not long after the news broke.
In the shot, he was wearing two white tank tops and looked to be straight-faced.
