Young Thug and Birdman Allegedly Plotted to kill Lil Wayne

Just yesterday (July 15), the Atlanta rapper was arrested in Sandy Springs, Ga. by U.S. Marshals and charged for making terrorist threats. Young Thug allegedly threatened to kill a mall cop earlier in July, telling the cop, he would shoot him in the face while being escorted off of the premises. Authorities raided his home and he was taken into custody.

An indictment obtained by WSB-TV names Young Thug, real name Jeffery Lamar Williams, and Birdman, real name Bryan Williams, as co-conspirators, along with a third man, to kill Lil Wayne on his tour bus back in April.
Weezy’s bus was shot at while he was leaving an Atlanta club appearance. Earlier reports claimed that Weezy had gotten into it with hecklers in the audience, and his tour bus was later shot at as he was leaving the club. The third man in the conspiracy case was identified as Jimmy Winfrey. Winfrey was rumored to have been Thugger’s road manager, and the suspect responsible for the tour bus shooting. He turned himself in to authorities in June and was charged with aggravated assault, making terrorist threats, possession of a firearm by a felon and criminal gang activity.
Initially, YT and Baby were thought to have been indicted on these charges, but WSB-TV’s Mike Petchenik makes it clear that the pair haven’t been charged with anything. Prosecutors are, however, looking into their gang activity as related to the case.
The indictment alleges that Young Thug made a threat against Lil Wayne and tour bus shooting suspect Jimmy Winfrey carried out that threat.
Winfrey is also known as "PeeWee Roscoe" and affiliated with Rich Gang. Birdman is a part of the Rich Gang rap group which was formed by Cash Money Records in 2013.
The indictment goes on to say that Winfrey was driving the white Chevy Camaro that fired shots at Lil Wayne’s tour buses the night of April 26 after a police escort left the buses.
“After Atlanta Police discontinued their escort, (Winfrey) and fellow Blood Gang members entered Interstate 285 from Atlanta Road in Cobb County in pursuit of the buses occupied by (Lil Wayne’s) group,” the indictment says. “(That’s when) the white sports car pulled beside the buses, shots were then fired into the buses from the sports car with a .40 caliber handgun and a 9mm handgun.”
The indictment goes on to say Winfrey had a photo of the Camaro posted on his Instagram account and attempted to erase it following the shooting. The Camaro was later found at the home of one of Winfrey’s relatives.
Young Thug and Birdman have not been charged in the incident.
Winfrey’s next court appearance is Friday
