The co-defendant in question was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison last year for the 2018 murder
Myrick, who goes by the nickname “SetTrip” or “JayMan”, was found guilty of robbery and murder outside a wedding venue in the township of Buckhead last year, with a father dead.
He was sentenced to life in prison without parole last year for the July 2018 murder of Christian Broder, who was shot dead after a wedding.
Officials say Myrick and co-defendant Torrus Fleetwood saw four people waiting to be picked up outside the Capital City Country Club and robbed them at gunpoint.
Myrick’s current trial centers on the case of rapper Young Thug, who prosecutors say is the leader of YSL, a street gang known throughout Atlanta for violence.
Williams’ attorneys, however, maintain that YSL is merely a record label and nothing more.
