The Fulton County district attorney says gang sympathizers are threatening the life of a witness and their family in the criminal case against rapper Young Thug and 27 other alleged gang members.
Willis’ office has discovered a document and part of a cooperating witness’ statement, that was posted on social media.
The life of that witness, a cooperating YSL associate, and that witness’ children are in jeopardy as a result.
Ms. Willis says steps have been taken to protect the alleged witness and the witness’ children.
“We’re going to have to do things to make sure that the witnesses are safe. We need people to understand that they can cooperate. They can do the right thing and the state will be here to protect them,” Willis said.
