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.

Mel C reveals she married Chris Dingwall in a private Sydney ceremony

Melanie Chisholm officially wed her Australian partner Chris Dingwall several weeks before the couple held their scenic countryside celebration in England over the weekend.

According to Vogue magazine, the pair exchanged vows privately in Sydney before gathering with loved ones in England’s Lake District.

The detail had not previously been made public, but was revealed when the fashion publication offered a closer look at their wedding and confirmed that the English ceremony was symbolic rather than legally binding.

The singer reportedly included the word “Sydney” and the date of their original ceremony in blue embroidery inside her custom Victoria Beckham bridal gown, serving as her “something blue”.

Beckham, who created the sophisticated backless dress, revealed that she only learned about Chisholm’s plans a few days before the singer flew to Australia.

“I was actually having dinner with Melanie and asked her what she was up to,” Beckham shared with Vogue.

“She very casually told me she was leaving for Australia in two days and getting married!”

Beckham could not join the festivities in England because she was accompanying her husband, David Beckham, in the United States for World Cup duties. However, she still contributed to her friend’s special occasion by presenting her with the one of a kind wedding gown.

Mel C’s fellow Spice Girls Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Geri Halliwell-Horner attended the English ceremony.
