A female getaway driver linked to the murder of rapper Lil Ronnie and his 5-year-old daughter was recently arrested and seen pleading for sympathy. The tragic shooting took place on March 3, 2025, at Slappy’s Express Car Wash in Forest Hill, Texas, claiming the lives of Ronnie Sibley, known as Lil Ronnie, and his young daughter, R’Mani.
Authorities believe the attack was targeted, and the arrest of the getaway driver, along with other suspects, marks a significant step in the investigation. Meanwhile, Lil Ronnie’s baby mama, Shamon Jones, has publicly pointed fingers at Fort Worth rapper Lil CJ Kasino and a mysterious figure called “Houston” as the masterminds behind the killings.
The getaway driver and prime suspect, Adonis Robinson, were both arrested on March 6, 2025, in Livingston, Texas, about 75 miles northeast of Houston. The unidentified woman cried and begged for sympathy when she was being arrested. Police suspect that she drove a white four-door Kia that had been used in a getaway after a shooting. While it is not yet known what she did and what charges she faces, her arrest has given a glimpse into the planning involved in the crime.
The assault was recorded on horrific surveillance footage. In it, Lil Ronnie tries to run away from his attackers as he is being gunned down in front of his daughter, who is also killed. The brutality of the crime and the fact that a child had been killed have outraged and brought national attention.
The investigation moved quickly, with a second suspect, 21-year-old Jakobie Russell, arrested on March 7, 2025. Both Russell and Robinson, who hail from Fort Worth, now face capital murder charges. Law enforcement officials have called the suspects “cowards” for attempting to escape justice, but their swift captures signal a determined effort to resolve the case. Police are still piecing together each individual’s involvement, and further arrests may follow as the investigation unfolds.
Recently, Shamon Jones, the mother of R’Mani and Lil Ronnie’s partner, has taken to social media to share her grief and accusations. In a raw, emotional live video, she claimed that the murders were a “paid hit” orchestrated by Lil CJ Kasino, a prominent Fort Worth rapper and someone she referred to as “Houston.”
“Fuck Lil CJ Kasino and fuck Houston,”
she said, hinting at a possible motive tied to rap rivalries. While “Houston” could be a person or a reference to the city, no official evidence has connected either party to the crime. Lil CJ Kasino, known for his own feuds within the rap scene, has not been named a suspect by police.
The deaths of Lil Ronnie and his daughter have again brought attention to violence within the rap culture in Fort Worth and Houston. Feuds among rappers have boiled over into deadly brawls far too frequently, and this one could be another senseless example. Even though Shamon Jones’s claims are unproven, they point to a motive that police may explore.
