An Atlanta musician has been accused of shooting a teenager before a show. As reported by People, the alleged incident occurred on Saturday, April 25.
26-year-old Jayy Wick, whose real name is Donald Anderson, has been arrested for the alleged crime. He was arrested on Wednesday, May 6, according to a statement released by the Bay County Sheriff's office.
The musician allegedly shot an 18-year-old teen at a Florida beach, just hours before performing at the Vibez Night Club in Panama City, Florida.

"We will not tolerate this kind of violent behavior in Bay County. It doesn't matter who you are or where you are. If you come to Bay County to commit these crimes, we will find you and hold you accountable."
Jayy Wick, if convicted, faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years, if he's convicted of first-degree murder. However, it wasn't clear whether the musician knew the victim, so he might not necessarily be facing a first-degree charge.
