Lil Wayne’s Alleged Tour Bus Shooter (Young Thug’s Road Manager) Turned Himself In
The man who allegedly shot up Lil Wayne‘s tour bus is now in police custody after turning himself in Tuesday morning (Jun 2).
Initial reports stated that 25-year-old Jimmy Carlton Winfrey — the man who is believed to have shot at Wayne’s tour bus “multiple times” back in April — had already been arrested, however, it turns out only a warrant had been issued.
Now, he has officially been arrested after turning himself in to police in Cobb County, Georgia, TMZ reports.
Winfrey — who reportedly has ties to Weezy’s rival Young Thug (he’s said to be Thugger’s road manager) — is being held without bond on multiple felony counts that include aggravated assault, criminal damage to property and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
The AJC reports that he’s also being charged with two misdemeanors: reckless conduct and discharging a firearm on or near a public highway.
Police believe the shooting was motivated by Winfrey’s desire to gain favor with the Bloods, a gang Young Thug is strongly affiliated with.
“Said accused did commit said act in order to gain status in his criminal organization by committing a high profile shooting of a rival rap artist,” according to Winfrey’s arrest warrant. “Said accused has associated himself with known blood gang members in the Atlanta area.”
(Sidebar: Lil Wayne is supposed to be a blood to though, so what’s up with that?)
According to TMZ, a judge issued an arrest warrant for Winfrey more than a month ago, and his booking report states that he had a “gunshot scar” on his wrist.
