Rapper Pooh Shiesty Remanded in Dallas Kidnapping Case Involving Gucci Mane

Rapper Pooh Shiesty (Lontrell Williams Jr.) was denied bail in a Dallas federal case tied to kidnapping and robbery at a recording studio involving Gucci Mane. Prosecutors say he traveled from Memphis with eight others, used an AK-style pistol to force Gucci Mane (Radric Davis) to sign paperwork terminating his contract, and robbed several people of jewelry and cash. Williams allegedly violated home detention by being at the scene; nine defendants face conspiracy-to-kidnap charges with a potential life sentence. Williams’s lawyer questioned the evidence, citing no contract or video of a signing, while the judge found credible evidence and a flight risk, ordering detention until further proceedings.

Family seeks answers after Afghan man dies in ICE custody in Dallas

The family of Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal, an Afghan immigrant detained by ICE in Dallas on March 13, 2026, says they have received no explanation for his death the following day at a Dallas hospital. ICE says he was in a processing hold, began showing shortness of breath and chest pains, and died after medical intervention during observation, with his parole status having expired in 2025. The family notes his prior local arrests but says a broader life story—he served in Afghan forces and aided U.S. troops—should be considered; DHS says there is no record of such service. The death is under investigation, and the family continues to seek answers as ICE detainee fatalities rise this year.

She emphasized concerns about threats to lawmakers and the need for robust security protocols, while Capitol Police did not immediately comment.

Dallas SWAT Kills Fugitive Bodyguard Linked to Jasmine Crockett in Parking-Garage Standoff

A fugitive who worked as a security contractor for Rep. Jasmine Crockett was shot dead by Dallas police SWAT after a standoff in a parking garage. The man, identified by CBS News Texas as Mike King, reportedly used aliases, ran a security business and oversaw security at hotels and a church, and Crockett had paid him for security services as recently as last year. He allegedly impersonated a police officer, drove a replica undercover vehicle, and used stolen license plates; authorities say tear gas forced him from the vehicle before he fired on officers. King’s real name has not been released, and the incident highlights questions about how such a figure secured high‑level security work for a sitting congresswoman amid Crockett’s recent primary loss.
