Silento, real name Ricky Lamar Hawk, was arrested and booked into DeKalb County Jail after he was accused of fatally shooting his 34-year-old cousin Frederick Rooks last month, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Police discovered Rooks deceased in the early morning hours of Jan. 21 with several gunshot wounds to the chest. 8 bullet casings were recovered from the scene.
The rapper was previously arrested and hit with two felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon last summer after he entered a home with a hatchet while searching for his girlfriend.
