- [Woman] Police believe that the three, two adult men
and a 14 year old were targeted.
Triple shooting outside this barber shop,
ended the life a 26 year old Jonathan Thomas.
- [Narrator] Rayshawn Lamar Vinet aka YFN Lucci,
was born on February 16th, 1991
in the Summit Hill area of Atlanta, Georgia.
His mother was a single mother
and his father was around too.
Lucci attended Self Side High School
and was even on the football team,
but after school and football,
is when Lucci got out into the streets
and started to get in some trouble around his neighborhood,
but Lucci was an early hustler because at the age of 15,
he says, him and his friends would park cars
at a stadium on a lot that wasn't even theirs.
Cashing in about $1000 a night,
Lucci knew he had to get some money
and he wanted consistent money.
So he started to break in places and steal.
Lucci even says he was doing bank jobs to get money.
But the first time she got arrested
was back in 10th grade at only the age of 15.
He says one day he was in school
when he got to altercation with some other students
and jumped him that day.
But after school let out
one of the guys that he was fighting, got stabbed.
Lucci got arrested for this, but didn't get charged
until he was an adult.
At the age of 18 he went to court for it
and they tried to give them a whole year
because he wouldn't say who did it and went back
and they gave him six months, but he didn't take that.
And after that, he went back again
and they gave him 30 days.
He did his 30 days and got out.
Lucci has also been arrested for drug possession in the past
and stolen cars.
Unsure of the details because he was a juvenile at the time
but I'm pretty sure he did some time for this.
And around this time,
Lucci began to take rap more serious
and started to go to the studio more consistently.
But around July 18th, 2009, Lucci was arrested again
for possession of marijuana and improper stopping.
He caught these charges at age of 19
and was released three days later on a $10,000 bond.
And after being released, Lucci knew he had to make a way.
So he began to rob and steal again
and take music more serious.
And right before he began to gain a buzz in the city
he got arrested again on August 7th, 2014.
And this time it was for drugs, not in original container
which was a misdemeanor
and sales to distribute or possession of dangerous drugs.
Lucci then got released the next day.
At around this time Lucci dropped a song
that was getting pretty hot in a city named 'Wonder Why'
which has over 3 million views on YouTube.
And signed to a label named Think Its A Game
after his friend Nut introduced them to the labels leader
and died from gun violence back in January of 2015
which you can hear Lucci shout some
out or plenty of his songs.
But on January 3rd, 2015, Luccia was locked up again
for improper stopping, death barber Steve's stolen property
which was a felony and a DUI.
These charges only landed Lucci in jail for three days
and was released on the 6th of January, 2015.
But the first song Lucci dropped was 'Twenty Dimes'
which has over 600,000 views on YouTube.
And he dropped this around February of 2015.
And around this time when Lucci was doing shows
and out of town,
his mother house got shot at by rival gang members.
Luckily nobody was hurt, but a week later
his mother's house got shot at again
while he was at the studio
leaving his mother's shot in the leg.
And her friends shot in a leg too.
His mother recovered from the incident
and moved that same week.
He says she was even laughing about it,
when he went to the hospital to see her.
Then Lucci went to drop the 'Missing You'
which was one of his biggest songs of that time
which has over 58 million views on YouTube.
And this song really gained Lucci
a lot of attention from all over
then he went to drop his first mixtape
which was another good, big move for him.
Cause he gained a lot of attention
and a lot of fans from this mixed tape
but then Lucci went to drop some singles
and a mix tape that would turn them up to the max
including 'Key To The Streets' and 'Every Day We Lit'
which both are pretty much
at a hundred million views on YouTube
and he dropped 'Long Live Nut'
which was one of his biggest mixed tapes of all time,
and every song on that mixed tape has over a million views.
Then he went to drop 'Freda Son',
'Ray Ray From Summer Hill', '650Luc', 'History'
and 'C-Pack' and he actually dropped one of December, 2020
which is doing so well is late actually bought him
SUV Maybeck, which cost upwards to $140,000.
But recently Luccia has been for some serious charges
including murder, aggravated assault,
unlawful for person employed
by/associated with criminal street gang
to conduct/participate in criminal activity,
plus possession of a firearm, during commission of a felony
YFN Lucci is accused of being a driver
in a gang-related drive by shooting, that left one man dead,
and another wounded.
Authority said the 29 year old rapper turned himself in
a day after police announced these murder charges
against Lucci whose real name is Rashawn Bennett.
Police say Bennett and other gang members
drove through the rival gang territory
on December 10th, 2020
and two people inside the car opened fire
and then the rival gang members opened fire,
hitting James Adams, 28 years of age
in the head, police say.
Adams was manually ejected from the car.
And police found his body laying in a road
and was pronounced dead at the scene.
But later that day, Kevin right, 32 years of age
arrived at a fire station
with a gunshot wound to the abdomen, he ended up surviving.
Police say every Vaughn boy 23 was also in the vehicle
during the shooting.
The boy and his 17 juvenile were charged in the incident
and were both arrested in Miami.
A warrant was put out for Bennett's arrest
on the 15th of December
and Lucci turned himself in the next day.
Lucci was actually the driver in the situation,
after one of Lucci's associates
was shot in the head by rival gang members.
They pushed them out to car to die in the street.
So they attempted to charge Lucci with murder
of his own friend, which is being involved for the shooting.
Lucci even got to shoot out one time
while shooting a music video.
He says he heard four gunshots
even returned about 20 shots of their own.
And one of his homie ended up shooting his Rolls Royce.
Lucci is currently in a relationship with Reginae Carter
which is Lil Wayne's daughter.
And they had some breakups in the past
and some drama in the past
unsure of their relationship status at the moment though
but they seem to be doing pretty good.
YFN Lucci also has two kids, one daughter and one son
but that'd be about it for YFN Lucci.
