Mims was involved in Yo Gotti’s record label, The Collective Music Group, as he scouted new talent.
Mims was one of two victims who were shot multiple times on Jan. 13 outside of a restaurant. He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. The other male victim was placed in stable condition.
Police said the suspects fled the scene in a white SUV, and no arrests have been made. There have been no further updates.
