Overview
- Federal agents detained six people in coordinated actions in Texas and Louisiana on Thursday, and the group included rappers NBA Ben10 and OG 3Three.
- The arrests are tied to an April shooting at the Confessions restaurant in Houston that prosecutors say left NBA Ben10 with irreversible paralysis.
- Prosecutors previously charged AllStar JR in the same incident, citing surveillance footage that they say shows a fight, a dropped gun and shots fired that struck Ben10 and others.
- Officials have not publicly disclosed specific charges for the six newly arrested, and the FBI referred questions about charges to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas.
- The expanded federal sweep could change the course of the early AllStar JR prosecution and will likely shape what evidence and witnesses federal prosecutors present next, while Ben10 faces long-term medical and legal consequences.
