TATTNALL COUNTY, Ga. (WSB-TV) — According to a new indictment, a gang operating out of a Georgia prison attempted to have a guard killed -- but sent the hitman to the wrong address.
The indictment involves inmates at Smith State Prison in Glennville in Tattnall County who were part of the YSL gang, which also includes prominent rappers Young Thug & Gunna.
The indictment reveals that the gang also sold drugs, cell phones and even luxury clothing inside the prison walls.
The indictment details the murder of 88-year-old veteran Bobby Kicklighter, who was a neighbor of the intended target. Kicklighter was found dead inside his home after a hitman went to the wrong address.
Reynolds said that GBI agents discovered much more during the investigation into the gang, included two more murders that were possibly related. The investigation led to a sweeping murder & racketeering indictment brought against the gang members.
Inmates Nathan Weeks and Christopher Reginald Sumlin, Jr., and civilians Keisha Janae Jones & Aerial Deshay Murphy are all accused of malice murder in Kicklighter’s death. Weeks, Sumlin & Jones are also charged with conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
The indictment suggests that prison inmates offered guards financial incentives to facilitate the flow of contraband inside the prison. Corrupt guards were paid in cash. But when financial incentives did not work, inmates & co-conspirators used violence & threats against the guards.
Weeks & Jones sent Sumlin to murder a corrections officer -- but he ended up killing Kicklighter instead.
Weeks & Jones were also involved in the death of Jessica Gerling, who was a corrections officer at the prison until she was fired for bringing in contraband at Weeks’ direction. Weeks & Sumlin were also involved in the murder of another man, Jerry Lee Davis.
