- Rapper YFN Lucci, born Rayshawn Bennett, pleaded guilty to one gang-related charge in Atlanta as part of a plea deal reached with prosecutors.
- Prosecutors dropped 12 of 13 charges against Bennett, including murder and racketeering charges related to the 2020 shooting death of James Adams.
- Bennett was sentenced to 10 years in prison followed by 10 years of probation. However, due to time already served and parole eligibility, he could be released in as early as four months.
