Detectives with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department have confirmed Blac Youngsta (real name Sammie Benson) was arrested in connection with the “100 Shot” shooting involving fellow Memphis rapper Young Dolph, according to Fox13 News.
Along with Benson, 23-year-old Frederick Black and 20-year-old Antavius Gardner have also been charged with six counts of discharging a weapon into occupied property and felony conspiracy, as reported early Tuesday (May 16). The men turned themselves in at the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office.
In February, Dolph was riding to his concert when more than 100 rounds were fired into his vehicle, however, no one was injured in the incident. Police claimed that multiple apartment units and vehicles were struck in the shooting.
The investigation is ongoing. Watch the video about the arrest below.

Two months max or probation for a couple years. Seems like if you’re a well-known rapper and it’s not a murder charge, you’re good to go. Adds credibility too, so that’s a good thing.
