Internet Money Artist Rot Ken Charged With Murder
In a report published by The August Press on Sunday (June 18), Internet Money artist Rot Ken was arrested in connection with the murder of a 24-year-old man in Augusta, Georgia.
The rapper, native to Augusta, and an accomplice allegedly shot two men in “broad daylight” in April, leaving one man dead and the other injured. The newspaper reports that the alleged shooters hopped out of a car and shot into the victims’ vehicle, killing passenger Usaini Yunusa while the driver, Kobe Burns, drove away.
Burns, however, was intoxicated and crashed into some trees after speeding away. He was taken to the hospital with injuries and later faced DUI charges. The report states that Ken, real name Kenneth Williams, had already been in jail for 10 days on a probation-related offense when the murder warrant was served on Saturday. Previously, he had been convicted of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, burglary and theft by receiving stolen property.
