YSL rapper FN DaDealer — who is signed to Young Thug‘s label — has been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting at an Atlanta apartment complex.
According to Fox 5 Atlanta, Jackoby Moody — better known as FN DaDealer — was arrested on Thursday (June 29) thanks to a joint effort by the Atlanta Police Department and the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office. The 20-year-old is currently in the Fulton County Jail, where he’s being held without bond.

In addition to being charged with felony murder, he’s also being charged with possession of a firearm or knife during the commission of a felony.
Police allege that multiple shots were fired at the Columbia at Mechanicsville Cross apartments on the evening of June 5. Initially, the police were looking for three suspects, thinking that two of them were the ones who opened fire — and the shooting left one 28-year-old victim, who has not been identified, dead.

After the shooting, three people allegedly got into a black Dodge Charger without a tag, and they believe that FN DaDealer played a role in the shooting.
Despite his latest legal troubles, FN DaDealer is not part of the ongoing YSL RICO trial.
As for FN DaDealer’s label head, Young Thug’s lawyer Brian Steel has just filed a motion to dismiss the RICO charges leveled against his client and all YSL co-defendants due to the statute of limitations, but it’s unclear if the judge will agree to it.

Steel filed the motion last Friday (June 23) and requested all of YSL’s co-defendants have the RICO charges against them dismissed, arguing the accusations are beyond the statute of limitations for a state RICO charge and need to be expunged from the indictment.
“In order to satisfy the crime of RICO conspiracy, the prosecution must prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that at least one (1) overt act was committed in furtherance of the conspiracy within the Statute of Limitations,” the motion reads. “To satisfy the Statute of Limitations, the overt act must have occurred within five (5) years of the filing of the Bill of Indictment with the Clerk of Court.”
It continues: “Approximately overt act numbers 62 through 191 are alleged to have occurred on a date within five (5) years of May 9, 2022, the date of the original Bill of Indictment as well as the re-Indictment. The re-indictment was filed with the Fulton County Clerk of Court on August 5, 2022.
“Both the original Indictment as well as the re-Indictment have overt acts numbers 1 through approximately 61 with a date more than five (5) years before the return of the Indictment. Since overt acts numbers 1 through about 61 are outside of the five (5) year Statute of Limitations, these overt acts cannot support a conviction of Mr. Williams (or any of the accused) since said overt acts are outside of the five (5) year Statute of Limitations.”

The motion concludes: “The inclusion of any overt act dated before approximately May, 2017, is other crime evidence barred by the applicable Statute of Limitations and is prejudicial to Mr. Williams and has no probative value. Hence, same must be stricken from this Indictment pursuant to this Special Demurrer/Statute of Limitations Plea in Bar.”
