A suspect involved in the shooting of Lil Wayne’s tour bus has received a 20 year sentence, Rolling Stone
reports. The occurrence took place on Apr. 26 following Weezy’s
appearance at Compound nightclub in Atlanta, Ga., where multiple shots
were aimed at the driver’s side of the vehicle.
The
person in question was identified as Jimmy Carlton Winfrey, who’s also
reportedly Young Thug’s road manager. Speculation surrounding the case
entailed that Thugger and Birdman were somehow connected to the
shooting, but Birdman said he had no former knowledge of the happening.
Winfrey
was found guilty on six of the 27 charges, and will carry out a 10-year
sentence in prison and 10 on probation, the Cobb County District
Attorney states. Before taking the plea deal, Winfrey was indicted on 30
counts of aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm.
The
news made its rounds on social media earlier Saturday (Nov. 21), and
even warranted a response from 50 Cent. He mainly chimed in on the
number of years Winfrey will have to serve.
