Lil Baby, whose real name is Dominique Armani Jones, was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon without a permit. He had the gun at an unnamed Las Vegas Strip property on August 26.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was tucked into his waistband while he was on the casino floor gambling.<\/p>\n

He told Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) officers he forgot he was carrying the firearm and that he had it with him when he was at a nightclub earlier that night.<\/p>\n

He has a permit to carry a concealed weapon in Georgia<\/a>, but the Georgia permit doesn\u2019t apply to Nevada, police explained.<\/p>\n

The charge was dropped on October 1 after prosecutors reviewed the case, according to Las Vegas TV station KLAS.<\/em><\/p>\n

Jones told LVMPD officers \u201cto just arrest him for the charge and let\u2019s go,\u201d according to an arrest report. He predicted he would \u201cbeat the charge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Defendant in Cyclist\u2019s Death Incompetent for Trial<\/h2>\n

A teenager who was arrested for the death of a former California police chief was ruled incompetent to stand trial.<\/p>\n

The ruling was announced in Las Vegas court on Wednesday when the defendant, Jesus Ayala<\/a>, appeared for a competency hearing before Judge Christy Craig, according to Las Vegas TV station KTNV<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Ayala was ordered to report to Lake\u2019s Crossing Center, a psychiatric facility in Sparks, Nev. He may have brain damage, the report added.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mental health professionals reportedly had been divided over whether Ayala should be put on trial. The trial was scheduled to start on November 12.<\/p>\n

Ayala was identified as the driver of the car that struck<\/a> Andreas \u201cAndy\u201d Probst, 64, on Aug. 14, 2023, near Tenaya Way and Centennial Parkway in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

\n

Ayala was arrested on the day of the crash and faces charges for causing the deadly collision along with other crimes, including murder, attempted murder, battery with use of a deadly weapon, leaving the scene of an accident, and larceny and burglary counts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A passenger, Jzamir Keys was charged with murder, attempted murder, and battery on Sept. 19, 2023. Keys will next appear in court on October 22.<\/p>\n

The two teens<\/a> also were arrested for a burglary and driving into another bicyclist.<\/p>\n

The duo allegedly stole at least four cars before they went on the crime spree, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Ayala also was charged with attempted murder for a 2023 stabbing. That case is still pending.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know why he did this,\u201d Ayala\u2019s mother told KLAS<\/em> on the day of a court appearance for the death of the police chief. \u201cI don\u2019t know if God can forgive this.\u201d<\/p>\n
