Suspect Arrested in Murder of North Texas Rapper and His 5-Year-Old Daughter, Second Gunman Still at Large
Authorities have taken one suspect into custody in connection with the tragic murder of North Texas rapper Ronnie Sibley, 30, and his 5-year-old daughter, R’mani Sibley.
Forest Hill Police Chief David Hernandez confirmed that 24-year-old Adonis Robinson was arrested on March 6 in Livingston, Texas, approximately 75 miles east of Houston.
His arrest was made with assistance from the Texas Rangers and Fort Worth police.
Investigators have identified Robinson and 21-year-old Jakobe Russell as the alleged gunmen responsible for the fatal shooting, which took place at Slappy’s Car Wash in Forest Hill.
While Robinson is now in custody, Russell remains at large, and authorities continue to search for him.
Police say Ronnie Sibley, who resided in Crowley, Texas, had stopped in Forest Hill to pick up his daughter.
Minutes after R’mani was dropped off to him at the car wash, gunfire erupted, claiming the lives of both father and daughter.
Investigators have not disclosed a motive for the shooting but stated that the music industry is part of their ongoing investigation.
While police have not confirmed how the suspects knew Sibley, they are continuing to piece together details of the fatal encounter.
The heartbreaking tragedy occurred just one day after R’mani’s fifth birthday.
The young girl’s mother is devastated and grieving, said family spokesperson Bishop Rodney McIntosh, who pleaded with those involved to surrender.
“The mother wants everyone to know she is heartbroken and grieving,” McIntosh said. “On behalf of the mother, I would ask them to do the right thing and come forward.”
In addition to R’mani, Sibley leaves behind a 12-year-old daughter, who is now mourning the loss of both her father and younger sister.
Robinson has a violent criminal history and is a registered sex offender, according to court records.
In 2019, he was arrested and later convicted for assaulting a woman who was walking along a trail.
Authorities also confirmed that Robinson’s girlfriend, Ka’lyla Maria, was apprehended and is believed to have served as the getaway driver in the fatal shooting.
While one suspect is in custody, authorities continue to search for Jakobe Russell, who remains at large.
Anyone with information on Russell’s whereabouts is urged to contact Forest Hill Police or Crime Stoppers.

Angela Johnson and Her Son DeAngelo Johnson Killed After Shooting Inside Home in Chicago, Mother’s Boyfriend in Custody
CHICAGO — A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.
The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnson’s boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.
The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.
When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.
DeAngelo Johnson was found on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Radio traffic indicated that he had suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
Both victims were initially unresponsive and in critical condition. Emergency personnel performed CPR on DeAngelo Johnson before both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.
Investigators found extensive evidence inside the residence, including approximately 23 shell casings in a basement bedroom. Additional shell casings were reportedly recovered in other areas of the basement, including the stairway, main room and bedroom.
Officers initially recovered a firearm and shell casings from the basement bedroom. Police later located a second firearm inside the home, bringing the total number of recovered firearms to two.
Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.
Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.
Chicago police said the shooting appeared to be domestic-related and identified the alleged offender as the mother’s boyfriend.
Radio traffic indicated that a person had been detained by approximately 11:26 p.m. The official police report later confirmed that the known offender was taken into custody.
Two witnesses were reportedly available to identify the alleged offender, and officers conducted a show-up identification procedure near the scene.
Police have not released additional information about potential charges against the suspect.
The investigation into the Chicago Austin neighborhood double shooting remains ongoing. Detectives are continuing to examine the circumstances that led to the shooting, the relationship between the people involved and the role of the two recovered firearms.
The deaths of Angela Johnson and DeAngelo Johnson are being investigated as a double homicide.
