Rapper YFN Lucci is wanted by the Atlanta Police Department for his alleged role in a shooting that took place last month.
The department announced on Facebook Tuesday that the musician -- born Rayshawn Bennett -- "is wanted on multiple charges for his role in the shooting death of 28-year-old James Adams on December 10, 2020."
Specifically, Bennett, 29, is wanted on charges of "felony murder, aggravated assault, participation in criminal street gang activity [and] possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony."
When officers arrived at the scene in December, they found Adams lying in the street with a gunshot wound in his head. He eventually succumbed to his injuries "despite lifesaving efforts," said the Facebook post.
