Rising rapper YNW Melly was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder yesterday (Feb. 13), according to Rolling Stone. The charges are related to the October shooting of Anthony Williams and Christopher Thomas Jr. Cortlen Henry was also arrested in connection with the murder as well.

In a statement from the Miramar police, Melly and Henry tried make it seem like Williams and Thomas Jr. were killed during a drive-by shooting. The two victims were transported in a Jeep Compass to Memorial Hospital Miramar emergency room, where they died.
