NBA Youngboy’s legal troubles
Since he rose to prominence in 2016, rapper NBA Youngboy (born Kentrell DeSean Gaulden) has been no stranger to legal trouble. In August 2017, he was arrested and charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder after a drive-by shooting in Miami. He pled not guilty and was released on $75,000 bond.
Then, in April 2018, Youngboy was arrested again on charges of drug and firearm possession after police raided his home in Baton Rouge Louisiana. He was released on $75,000 bond once again.
Most recently, in October 2018, Youngboy was arrested and charged with kidnapping and assaulting his girlfriend, Jania Jackson. He is currently being held without bond in a Georgia jail.

The events that led to NBA Youngboy’s arrest
On Monday, NBA Youngboy was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the death of his girlfriend, Carolyn Bryant Stoneman Douglas High School student, i.e. prom queen, Kayla Reyes. Here’s what we know about the events that led to his arrest.
According to witnesses, on Sunday night NBA Youngboy got into an argument with Reyes at a Miami hotel. The argument apparently became physical and Reyes was pushed to the ground. She hit her head on the floor and was knocked unconscious.
When Reyes regained consciousness, she was taken to a local hospital where she later died from her injuries. An autopsy report released on Tuesday confirmed that Reyes died from blunt force trauma to the head and ruled her death a homicide.
Authorities say that surveillance footage from the hotel shows NBA Youngboy leaving the room where the altercation took place shortly after Reyes was injured.
