Lil Child’s lawyers Drew Findling and Marissa Goldberg have replied to the Atlanta Police Division whilst distancing the Atlanta rapper (born Dominique Jones) from the alleged gang struggle and pair of stripling murders the APD tried to tie him to.
Findling and Goldberg referred to as the APD’s connection with Lil Child “whole and general nonsense” whilst pronouncing that roping his identify into the dialog of a couple of murders is “unprofessional, unethical and shameful.”
“The a part of the clicking convention on Wednesday by means of the Atlanta Police Division that made an evident connection with Dominique Jones used to be whole and general nonsense,” the lawyers mentioned in a observation to Billboard on Friday (Feb. 28). “To mention that he couldn’t shoot a track video in his house the town, a spot that he loves and has endured to uplift, is disgraceful. Much more, the positioning for a big track video shoot is a choice made by means of a qualified group and isn’t a choice made by means of anyone.”
The observation endured: “Bringing his identify right into a dialog referring to a horrible crime for which he had completely no involvement is unprofessional, unethical and shameful. Dominique is devastated in regards to the state of affairs as a result of the ones kids got here from the similar community he did, and he’s going to proceed to increase his group by any means he can.”
Billboard has reached out to Atlanta Police for remark.
Main Ralph Woolfolk of the Atlanta Police Division hosted a press convention on Wednesday (Feb. 26) saying the arrest of 7 people tied to the July 2024 murders of 13-year-olds Jakody Davis and Lamon Freeman. He subliminally referenced the rapper, who Channel 2 Motion Information later showed to be Lil Child, whilst claiming {that a} Might 2024 triple taking pictures at the set of a Child track video resulted in a gang struggle and the deaths of the aforementioned teenagers, who had been celebrating a birthday.
“Gang violence that used to be orchestrated by means of adults. And the cowardly acts of an Atlanta-based rapper that made up our minds to enter a rival gang stronghold in a spot he knew he will have to now not were,” Woolfolk mentioned all over the presser. “This group will paintings relentlessly to carry you responsible.”
APD believes a couple of shootings and homicides may also be traced again to Lil Child’s track video taking pictures in Northwest Atlanta. Investigators allege that an incarcerated gang member opposing Lil Child referred to as within the hit at the pair of teenagers the usage of a mobile phone from in the back of bars.
Whilst rumors endured to swirl on Thursday (Feb. 27) referring to Child’s standing, he took to his Instagram Tale to transparent up any confusion. “Thank you for the entire issues, please don’t be misinformed by means of faux information,” he wrote. “I’m overly excellent.”
