31-year-old Lakevia Jackson, rapper Young Thug’s baby mother was murdered at Atlanta’s Metro Fun Center in mid-March. Atlanta police since arrested and charged a man for her murder, following an argument about a bowling ball. The incident took place around 11 PM on March 18, when Jackson was fatally shot by Fleetwood, who was on a date at the bowling alley next to Jackson’s family.
Jackson and the woman Fleetwood was on a date with started arguing over a bowling ball according to WSBTV. The suspect allegedly waited in the parking lot of the building for 20 minutes with the intention to shoot Jackson while she was leaving. Police say once Jackson was leaving, the argument started again and someone from each side started shooting at each other after getting firearms from their cars. During the gunfire, Jackson was hit and suffered life-threatening injuries as the shooter left the scene.
Fleetwood was arrested last week by the Atlanta Police Department’s Fugitive Unit according to CBS News. Fleetwood has a history of being arrested 16 times, including charges for fraud, narcotics, eluding police and criminal trespass, according to APD’s homicide commander, Lt. Ralph Woolfolk.
“We talk about conflict resolution time and time again, and once again, this is an escalated dispute over a bowling ball,” he said. Fleetwood has since been charged with felony murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Fleetwood is now in custody at the Fulton County Jail, scheduled for court this Friday.
“We are happy that Mr. Fleetwood is in our custody,” Woolfolk said.
