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.

Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan have teamed up for a remix of Expectations.
On Monday (12.10.26), Olivia shared a video on Instagram Stories showing a studio session, with the new version of the song from her latest album, You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love, displayed on the screen.
In the clip, a voice believed to belong to her close friend Chappell can be heard saying: "Ooh, Olivia does remixes now."
According to The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column, the revamped track is expected to arrive this Friday (16.10.26).
The Good 4 U singer and the Pink Pony Club star are thought to have come up with the idea to work together after spending time together at Olivia's Daisy Chain Fields festival earlier this summer.
A source told the publication: “Olivia and Chappell have been friends for a long time through producer and songwriter Dan Nigro, who has worked closely with both of them.
“Chappell hasn't released any new music for more than a year as she's taken a step back from the spotlight and quietly focused on creating new material.
“But they caught up again in August at Olivia's Daisy Chain Fields festival, where they both performed, and decided to collaborate. Chappell really connects with the song's message, and the version they've created together is amazing.”
It was also at Daisy Chain Fields that Chappell discovered "how much" she had "missed" being on stage.
The singer had not performed live since May, making her appearance at the all female festival a welcome return that seemed to reignite her passion for performing. After the show, she took to Instagram to thank Olivia for the invitation and applaud her for using her platform “for good”.
Sharing a message on Instagram following the event, she wrote: "Thank you for having me @daisychainfields ! @oliviarodrigo u r so inspiring in so many ways.
"Artists like you are so important because you use your platform for good and bring so much light into the world.
"Thank you for being yourself and for supporting artists like me. You've changed my life in so many ways 3 Performing again felt so good, and I hadn't realised how much I'd missed it. I finally got to live out my fifth element fantasy."
