Suspects Identified in Forest Hill Car Wash Double Homicide
FOREST HILL, Texas – The Forest Hill Police Department has identified two suspects in connection with the fatal shooting of a North Texas rapper and his 5-year-old daughter at a local car wash.
Authorities are actively searching for Adonis Robinson, a registered sex offender, and Jakobie Russell, who are wanted for their alleged involvement in the double homicide of 30-year-old Ronnie Sibley, known as rapper G$ Lil Ronnie, and his young daughter, R’mani Sibley.
The tragic shooting occurred in broad daylight on Monday, March 4, at Slappy’s Car Wash on Forest Hill Drive.

Lafayette LA high school student Alaya Christian killed in shooting during Mamou Mardi Gras concert
Two separate shootings at Mardi Gras concerts in Mamou have left two teenagers dead and 14 others wounded, authorities confirmed.

The violence unfolded amid what was supposed to be a night of celebration.

The shooting took place during a performance by zydeco musician Chris Ardoin, who later commented on the tragic events.
This latest incident follows another shooting that occurred on Monday, where three people were wounded in a separate act of violence at the festival.
Authorities are still investigating whether the two incidents are connected.
According to Mamou Police Chief Pat Hall, responding officers arrived at a chaotic scene, where they found multiple victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
“When we all came up on the scene, the officers there, we saw several people injured.
Two individuals succumbed to their injuries, two remain in critical condition at Lafayette General, and the remaining victims are receiving medical treatment,” Chief Hall stated.
Law enforcement officials are actively investigating the motive behind the shootings, as well as potential suspects.
As of now, no arrests have been made.
