Lil Baby’s Alleged ‘Cowardly Actions’ Spark Deadly Gang Violence, Say Atlanta Police

Police officers are blaming Lil Baby for an incident that led to the murder of two teenagers.

According to WSB-TV, law enforcement held a press conference on Wednesday (Feb. 26) where they shared more details about the deaths of 13-year-old teens, Jakody Davis and Lamon Freeman, and the arrests of seven suspects.

Major Ralph Woolfolk of APD’s Violent Crime Interdiction Section claimed that the fatal shooting that 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed both kids at Freeman’s birthday party in July 2024 in Atlanta was connected to “a gang war,” which started at a Lil Baby music video. An arrest warrant has since been issued for the ATL rapper’s arrest.

Woolfolk explained that, in the days since Lil Baby’s video shoot in rival gang territory, authorities could trace several shootings that were connected to his music video. Police officers hypothesize that the incident that left the boys dead stemmed from a “high-ranking member of the gang opposing [Baby’s] gang calling in a hit from a contraband cellphone inside a Georgia prison.” However, the identification of the man hasn’t yet been released.

“The cowardly acts of an Atlanta-based rapper that decided to go into a rival gang stronghold in a place he knew he should not have been,” Woolfolk said at the conference. “This team will work relentlessly to hold [Lil Baby] accountable.”

Officers state that they have posted a $50,000 reward for anyone who can come forward with more information.

In 2024, the rapper né Dominique Armani Jones was arrested on gun charges in Las Vegas. 8NewsNow reported that the WHAM artist told officers “to just arrest him for the charge and let’s go,” just before being detained “on suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon” near a Vegas casino.

Jones allegedly told the police that he would “beat the charge” due to having a Georgia gun permit—even though authorities alerted him that that documentation wasn’t valid in Nevada.

Jones’ next court appearance for the Vegas arrest is scheduled for Oct. 1. Lil Baby faces a felony charge of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.
