Investigation and Arrests
On Aug. 21, police recovered the stolen white Nissan Maxima used in the shooting of Freeman and the Davis brothers at a parking deck on Drew Drive NW. Further forensic analysis linked shell casings found at the scene to previous gang-related shootings across the city.
Investigators also intercepted phone conversations between gang members discussing the incident and efforts to cover their involvement after the boys' deaths. Richard "RJ" Hollis, a known OMF associate, was overheard instructing associates to destroy evidence, including a pair of shoes and social media accounts.
Additionally, a confidential informant provided information from a third party implicating Dekeitheon "Jayman" Mobley in the shooting. The informant told police they had learned through a relative that Jayman really wanted Lil Baby, but it was hard to touch him. Instead, he was hoping to catch another individual associated with 4PF. The informant claimed that Mobley was unaware that the victims were children until after the shooting.
The investigation also revealed that Sanders repeatedly told his girlfriend about seeking revenge against rapper Lil Baby and his plan to extort him for $5 million dollars upon his release from prison.
