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.
Surveillance footage reportedly shows Sibley being chased across the parking lot before being gunned down.
Moments before the shooting, R’mani had been dropped off by her mother and was inside a maroon Dodge Challenger when she was fatally shot.
Following the attack, both suspects fled the scene in a white Kia, according to police.
Forest Hill authorities are expected to release additional information regarding the case on Wednesday.
The investigation remains active, and law enforcement is urging anyone with information on the whereabouts of Robinson and Russell to contact the Forest Hill Police Department immediately.
AUSTIN, Texas — A man was taken into custody Saturday afternoon following a shooting inside the Austin Central Library that left one person seriously injured and prompted a large emergency response and temporary shelter-in-place order in the downtown area.
According to the Austin Police Department (APD), officers responded shortly after 12:00 p.m. to reports of gunfire inside the Austin Central Library, located at 710 W. César Chávez Street.
Upon arrival, police and Austin-Travis County EMS units found one victim suffering from a gunshot wound.
The individual was transported to a local hospital in serious but stable condition.
Assistant Police Chief Lee Rogers stated during a press briefing that the shooter fled the scene before officers arrived.
After an extensive search, the suspect—identified as 55-year-old Harold Newton Keene—was located and arrested in South Austin at approximately 1:25 p.m.
The library was safely evacuated, and the shelter-in-place alert was lifted shortly after Keene’s apprehension.
Authorities emphasized that the shooting appeared to be an isolated incident involving only one suspect and one victim.
“This was not an active shooter situation,” Rogers confirmed.
Preliminary reports and public records reveal that Harold Newton Keene has a lengthy criminal history, including multiple arrests for assault, family violence, terroristic threats, burglary, drug possession, and evading arrest.
He is described by law enforcement officials as a habitual violent offender who has had numerous prior run-ins with police.
Records indicate Keene was previously arrested for threatening a man with a firearm several months ago and, in a separate incident, assaulted another inmate while in custody at the Travis County Jail.
In both cases, prosecutors later declined to pursue charges.
Authorities have not yet released a possible motive for the shooting or confirmed whether the suspect and victim knew each other.
The Austin Police Department’s Major Crimes Division is leading the investigation.
Anyone with information related to the incident is urged to contact the Austin Police Department or Crime Stoppers at 512-472-TIPS.
