While the Memphis rapper has been battling these charges, his family has been grieving as they get closer to getting justice for the August 2023 murder of his brother.
Back in February, the Memphis Police Department took their prime suspect into custody.

According to CBS-affiliate WREG, 28-year-old Randy Darnell Ewing Jr. was arrested in a joint effort between MFD’s Fugitive team and U.S. Marshalls.
The man, who was armed when he was arrested, was immediately taken to the hospital for treatment to a bite wound caused by the K9 officer who ultimately apprehended him. He was then transported to Shelby County Jail.

Ewing had been considered a suspect in this case almost immediately following the death of Tomanuel Benson in a shooting at an area BP gas station on August 18, 2023. Since then, he has been wanted on an open warrant for the charges of second-degree murder, criminal attempt second-degree murder, and a firearm offense.
The charges were amended from an original single count of second-degree murder and two counts of attempted second-degree murder.
Police discovered the CMG rapper’s brother unconscious near a Valero B.P. gas station in South Memphis. Tomanuel was then rushed to Regional One Hospital but was pronounced dead upon arrival.

Blac Youngsta spoke out for the first time following the tragedy on August 20, stating he would “make the world pay” for what happened and that he is “ready for whatever come with this shit.”
“I Love U My Baby Brother Rest Up,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories. “I’m Gone Make The World Pay. I Swear To God. Nobody Safe. Standing Over Everybody. Everybody. 4LIFE.
