ATLANTA- Rapper Young Thug’s nephew was reportedly arrested Wednesday for allegedly killing his girlfriend.
Farderren Deonta Grier is accused of shooting his girlfriend, Destiny Fitzpatrick, 24, in the face.
Grier, 21, had initially claimed he had to defend himself against a pair of armed intruders, East Point Police told TMZ.
Grier has been charged with murder, possession of a firearm, during a commission of a crime and cruelty to children, a first-degree charge, according to reports.
It’s unclear why Grier was charged with cruelty to children, or what led to the deadly shooting.
His uncle, rapper Young Thug, was arrested in May on charges of conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO.
