Overview
- Police say Kendell Gaulden pistol-whipped Alliyah Jones and tried to fire at rapper Dedrick “Lil Dump” Wright during an April 17 fight in Houston, but the gun only clicked after its magazine fell out.
- He was arrested on April 20 and is being held in the Harris County Jail on a $500,000 bond with a bond hearing set for May 14.
- An affidavit describes the dispute starting at a party after Gaulden took Jones’ car keys without permission and she called police.
- The 22-year-old faces the new aggravated assault charge while a 2025 Texas burglary indictment and earlier counts for evading arrest and unlawful weapon carry remain pending.
- The arrest follows the targeted killing of TBG Records CEO Cleezy5 in Baton Rouge, which police are investigating as they monitor social media tied to the long-running TBG and Never Broke Again feud.
