A murder defendant on trial for the 2018 robbery and fatal shooting of an Atlanta wedding guest said he became affiliated with a street gang as a child.
Jayden Myrick, who took the stand Tuesday afternoon and was back Wednesday morning, said under oath that he had ties to YSL and the Nine Trey Gangsters and currently identifies as a member of “4PF.” The 22-year-old touched on his lengthy criminal history while testifying for hours, telling the jury he was groomed by older gang members starting when he was just 9 or 10.
The case went to the jury late Wednesday afternoon. Check AJC.com for updates.
The prosecutor said he hadn’t planned to question Myrick about certain gang activity, but that the defendant “opened the door” to such questions by bringing up certain topics during his testimony.
The Fulton County District Attorney’s office has accused members of the YSL gang of creating “havoc” in Atlanta since 2015, engaging repeatedly in violent crime.
Twenty-eight people, including Young Thug, were named in the indictment, which presents a timeline of events dating back to 2015 that include numerous murders, attempted murders and other crimes.
The indictment details the 2015 murder of Donavon Thomas Jr. as well as the attempted murder of rival rapper YFN Lucci by alleged members of the YSL gang that were incarcerated with him.
