The long-running gang and racketeering trial in Atlanta that led rapper Young Thug to plead guilty in October has ended with a jury finding the last two defendants not guilty of murder

In a significant development in a high-profile gang trial in Youngstown, Ohio, two defendants, Derrick Thomas Jr. and Anthony Green, were found guilty of murder. The trial, which has drawn attention due to its connection with local rapper Young Thug, involved charges stemming from a 2020 drive-by shooting that resulted in the death of 23-year-old Marquise Banks. The prosecution successfully argued that the shooting was part of a broader conflict between rival gangs. Alongside the murder convictions, Thomas and Green were also convicted on various other charges including felonious assault and drive-by shooting. The trial has highlighted the ongoing issues of gang violence in the area, with Young Thug's involvement bringing additional scrutiny to the case. The sentencing for Thomas and Green is scheduled for a later date, where they could face life imprisonment.
