Thug is accused of renting a car that was used in the 2015 drive-by shooting that killed 26-year-old Donovan Thomas and injured two others. Christian “Big Bhris” Eppinger, who is mentioned in the 56-count indictment, was detained earlier this year in connection with the shooting of an Atlanta police officer.
Prosecutors believe that Eppinger and Antonio Sumlin sought Thug for permission to make a second attempt on YFN Lucci’s life, according to WSBTV. In February, Lucci was allegedly stabbed at Fulton Country Jail.
