Nearly three years after the shooting death of Atlanta-based rapper Trouble, whose real name was Mariel Semonte Orr, Jamichael Jones, 36, pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in a Rockdale County courtroom and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Jones was initially facing multiple charges, including murder, following the incident on June 5, 2022, at a Conyers apartment complex where Orr was shot by Jones, allegedly over a dispute involving a woman. Trouble, who gained fame with his 2011 mixtape "December 17th" and later collaborations with prominent artists, was mourned by hundreds at his funeral, where his sister expressed the profound loss felt by his family.
