FOREST HILL, Texas — Forest Hill police Wednesday identified and released photos of two people they’re searching for in connection with the fatal shooting of Fort Worth rapper G$ Lil Ronnie and his 5-year-old daughter.
Forest Hill Police Chief David Hernandez in a press conference said police are searching for Adonis Robinson, 24, who is also a registered sex offender, and Jakobie Russell, 21, in connection with the shooting.
“They’re scared, they’re cowards, they’re hiding,” Hernandez said of the suspects Wednesday. “We ask the public, please, you know where they’re at, let us know.”
Fort Worth rapper Ronnie “LilRonnie” Sibley, also known as G$ Lil Ronnie, and his 5-year-old daughter, R’mani Sibley, were identified by Ronnie’s aunt as the two killed in a shooting Monday at the Slappy’s Express car wash in the 6500 block of Forest Hill Drive.
Full press conference:
Authorities found the victim’s car with bullet holes in the windshield and performed life-saving measures on the victims, but they were both pronounced dead at the scene, according to police.
Forest Hill PD said its preliminary investigation revealed two suspects exited a white four-door Kia, approached the victim’s car and opened fire. The suspects were described as two Black men wearing blue jeans and grey sweaters, police said.
Police said at least one suspect was then identified and a capital murder warrant was issued.
The Texas Rangers have been leading the investigation. Police said Monday the investigation is ongoing and they’re still working to identify a motive.
“The safety of the general public is our first concern,” Forest Hill Mayor Stephanie Boardingham said Wednesday. “We are confident the employees acted quickly in this incident.”
“Our heartfelt condolences go out to the family, to our community because everyone was affected,” she added.
The fatal shooting at the car wash is the third major incident involving gunfire for the Forest Hill Police Department this year.
Detectives said they’re investigating the shooting death of a woman killed last week by a stray bullet while in her backyard. The Forest Hill Police Department is also investigating a shooting at a dealership, where they arrested one person.
