A suspect was arrested Tuesday in Fort Worth, Texas, for the murder of G$ Lil Ronnie, whose real name is Ronnie Sibley, and his five-year-old daughter R’mani Sibley, Breitbart reported. The pair were gunned down at a car wash in Forest Hill, Texas, on Monday.
Forest Hill Police Chief David Hernandez announced that Adonis Robison, 24, was apprehended in Livingston, Texas, at a Chevron station. The Fort Worth resident and career criminal has been charged with capital murder for his role in the crime.
Another suspect in the murder remains at large. Video first released by TMZ showed the moments before Sibley's death as he attempted to flee from the killers before being gunned down in a hail of bullets.

Police have been searching for Robinson and 21-year-old Jakobie Russel, who is believed to be the other shooter, the New York Post reported. "Now we’ve identified the two cowards who took the lives of these innocent people," Hernandez said in a news conference Wednesday.
"We have public enemy No. 1, Adonis Robinson, who’s also a registered sex offender. Public enemy No. 2, Jakobie Russell, who’s on the run," Hernandez went on.
As Breitbart noted, Robinson is no stranger to violent crime. He was convicted of attempted sexual assault after accosting a 55-year-old woman who was walking alone on a trail. He was also charged with failing to comply with sex offender registration requirements.
In August 2024, he was released from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Russell, who is still on the run, also has criminal convictions, including firearms possession, assault bodily injury, and assault of a pregnant woman.
"They’re scared. They’re cowards," Hernandez said of the suspects.
There's no indication of a motive for the brutal murder of the rapper and his child. The day before she died, R'Mani had just celebrated her fifth birthday.
Video footage from the scene showed Sibley in a bright orange tracksuit attempting to flee from his killers. The aftermath revealed at least 30 police markers at the scene indicating the spots where bullets fell on the pavement.
Sibley's aunt expressed the family's immense grief at this senseless crime. "Somebody came through shooting and killed him and the baby. A baby!" the rapper's aunt said.
"He was a rapper. He didn’t bother nobody. He didn’t target nobody. He was a family man, and he was going around rapping, okay. Why would you target him?" the aunt lamented.
This was a heinous crime that took the lives of two people and was brazenly committed in broad daylight. Police have been successful at taking at least one of his alleged killers off the street, but their job is far from over with Russell still at large.
