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.

Cameron Winter has remained mysterious as rumours continue that he contributed vocals to two songs from Phoebe Bridgers’ forthcoming album Lost Weekend.
The Geese frontman is believed to sing backing vocals on Kill Me and share a duet with Phoebe on I Can't Wait.
Whoever recorded the parts has been listed in the credits under the name Son-John Johnson.
When Rolling Stone asked Cameron whether he was the mystery singer, he joked: “I will need to speak with my attorney.”
The 24 year old indie musician has a highly distinctive voice, although everyone involved appears determined to maintain the mystery.
Phoebe’s album campaign has already included plenty of unexpected developments.
She recently revealed the Lost Weekend tracklist after the details reportedly appeared online ahead of schedule.
Before that, she was required to stop using her record label’s name because of a “disagreement involving the trademark.”
Sharing the confirmed list of songs on Instagram, she wrote: “Since someone already shared it online, here is the official version!
“Only 16 more days to wait!!!!!”
Lost Weekend is scheduled for release through Dead Oceans on August 14.
The Garden Song singer established the independent label Saddest Factory Records in 2020 as an imprint of Dead Oceans.
Six years later, however, she was forced to retire the name and begin issuing her artists’ releases through Dead Oceans. The Saddest Factory Records logo remains in use and features a delicate drawing of a skeleton hand holding an ordinary hand.
A message shared through the label’s Instagram account in June explained: “Following a trademark disagreement connected to our label name, every future SFR project will now be released through Dead Oceans. Our symbol will appear beside the Dead Oceans logo to show our continued participation. Follow @DeadOceans for announcements and information about the artists in our community.”
In keeping with the label’s title, its roster features emotionally expressive musicians including Charlie Hickey, Claud, Katie Gavin, Muna and Sloppy Jane.
The name itself is a humorous take on the word “satisfactory,” a term that regularly appears in recording agreements.
