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.

Noel Gallagher Teases Possible Oasis Concerts for Summer 2027

Noel Gallagher has suggested that Oasis could return to the stage during the summer of 2027.

With reports claiming the Britpop icons may reveal their next run of concerts within days, the Wonderwall songwriter appeared on talkSPORT’s Drive programme on Wednesday (02.09.26), where he responded to the growing speculation.

Asked about the rumours by host Andy Goldstein, Noel laughed: “It’s Liam, isn’t it?"

Noel then joked: “He’s not into it. He’s not into Oasis anymore.”

Goldstein told him that Liam Gallagher, his brother and the band’s lead singer, had playfully threatened to step away from social media.

Noel responded: “Well, then there must be something happening."

He then offered another clue: “Let’s put it this way: there’s no football tournament on next year, so we’ve got to do something in the summer, right?”

Speculation about another tour has continued since the band completed their sold out Oasis Live '25 comeback concerts last year, marking their first performances together in 16 years. Neither Gallagher brother has done much to shut down the rumours.

The Daily Mail has reported that the pair will officially unveil their latest tour plans next week.

An insider told the publication: “The new tour has been in the making for some time and now they’re ready to get going with it.

“Unlike last time there’s not such a panic about whether Liam and Noel will get on, there isn’t the drama around it. It’s just a case of them looking forward to getting on stage.

“Oasis-mania is coming back!”

The latest claims follow speculation that Oasis could revisit Knebworth, where they staged two historic concerts in 1996, for an unprecedented run of six performances.

Reports have also suggested that the band may play 12 dates at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium in their hometown.

Another insider previously told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: "Oasis’ schedule is booked. It’s 12 nights at the Etihad over six weeks starting in June.

"They will then play Knebworth six times over a three-week period in September. Dates could be added but for now that’s the master plan."

Before their comeback tour, Oasis had not shared a stage since 2009, when Noel dramatically departed after an argument with Liam at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.

Interest in the reunion dates became so intense that Ticketmaster struggled to manage the demand. The situation prompted a consumer protection investigation and led the ticketing company to revise its sales procedures.
