YNW Melly has been charged with shooting deaths of his friends and fellow group members YNW Juvy (Chris Thomas, 20) and YNW Sakchaser (Anthony Williams, 21) back in October of 2018.  He was arrested in February of 2019 and has remained in jail without bond. Police believe Melly shot his friends in a car and colluded with YNW Bortlen to make the crime scene look like a drive-by. Bortlen drove the deceased men to the hospital claiming they’d been victims of a drive-by shooting.
