Police say Young Thug’s nephew, Fardereen Deonta Grier, has admitted to shooting his girlfriend.
The young thug’s nephew is reportedly in police custody after allegedly killing his girlfriend, TMZ reports. Police say they arrested Fardereen Deonta Grier Wednesday at a dorm outside of Atlanta after receiving a call about robbers. East Point PD spokeswoman Allyn Glover revealed that police witnessed Grier in tears as his girlfriend Destiny was in the blood when they responded.

Glover said police responded to a call from Grier, who told police he was fighting two armed and masked housing agents. However, officers claim Grier confessed to shooting Destiny in the face, while a neighbor confirmed they overheard an argument at the apartment before police arrived.
Glover also said Grier informed police that he was related to Young Thug. Grier is the son of Thug’s eldest sister, sources close to the Atlanta rapper confirmed to the publication.
Glover confirmed that Grier was charged with his girlfriend’s murder. So far, Thug’s legal team has not commented on Grier’s arrest.
Thug is currently behind bars after being arrested as part of a RICO charge against YSL. This week a judge issued an order protecting witnesses in the case after prosecutors allege the witnesses received death threats.
