A man suspected in the shooting death of a rising Texas rap artist on an Atlanta area interstate was arrested as he was exiting a plane at Atlanta’s airport, a Georgia sheriff’s office said.
James Edward Thomas was taken into custody at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on suspicion of malice murder and aggravated assault in the March slaying of rapper Corey Detiege, the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday (Dec. 22).
He was booked into jail Saturday, according to jail records, which list his age at the time of booking as 34. He was being held without bond. The jail records do not list an attorney for him.
Detiege, who performed under the stage name Chucky Trill, died after the predawn shooting March 5 on Interstate 85, police in suburban Gwinnett County have said previously. Detiege, 33, was from Sugar Land, Texas.
Police at the time did not provide a motive for the slaying.
Chucky Trill released his album Music for the Soul in 2018 and had more music in the works, the Houston Chronicle has reported.
The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office said it apprehended Thomas with help from the U.S. Marshals Service and Atlanta police.

Drake faced some backlash over the weekend after participating in a 20v1 dating show during a Kick stream. Several viewers felt that the rapper was behaving immaturely for someone his age. Others argued that an artist with his level of success should avoid this type of content.
Drake appears unbothered by the negative reactions, but people have continued sharing their opinions. Wayno joined the conversation this morning by uploading a video that expressed his disappointment with the rapper’s latest behavior.
“As a fan of Drake’s music, I was totally disappointed… this shit just corny,” Wayno explained.
Wayno’s remarks quickly spread across social media, placing the former Everyday Struggle host under pressure from Drake’s supporters. Many fans believed his opinion was unfair and argued that he was treating the situation as something more serious than it really was.
Drake’s supporters rarely hesitate to defend him against criticism online, and this situation was no different. Several posts showed fans making a clear effort to challenge Wayno over his comments.
Drake’s Supporters Defend Him
Some people responded more calmly, with several users suggesting that Wayno was being hypocritical by singling out Drake.
“Wayno you grew up on Dipset and cam,” one commenter wrote. “Do you see how cam and them act at 40? The whole Dipset even. It's content bro why do yall want Drake to be suit and tie super serious bro? Let him do him you should never be disappointed in Drake for this.”
Because Drake still has an active partnership with Stake, he is unlikely to abandon these streams anytime soon. They are reportedly included in his agreement, and more importantly, he genuinely appears to enjoy making them.
