Silent allegedly shot his cousin, and now he faces charges of murder for it.
The “Watch Me (Whip / Nae Nae)” rapper was arrested on Monday for murder Frederick Rooks after an investigation into the man’s death … according to the DeKalb County Police Department.
Cops say they found Rooks shot dead in the street on January 21 … and found 8 bullet casings at the scene. Cops say they still do not have a clear motive behind the shooting.
About how they connected Silento to the crime, we do not know for sure … but police say they obtained footage from the rings of houses in the area that caught at least one gunshot and several vehicles leaving the scene fled.
As we reported … Silento has legally experienced 2020. He was arrested back in October after police said he was driving 143 MPH … and in September he was arrested and charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly threatening people with a battle ax.
He is currently being held in DeKalb County Jail. We reached out to his camp … so far radio silence.
