Federal authorities attribute the event to Pooh Shiesty and several associates. At a press conference, Ryan Raybould, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas, offered additional details about the case. He noted that some of the alleged coconspirators appeared to boast about the robbery on social media shortly after the incident. The federal indictment targets Shiesty, Big30, Pooh\u2019s father, and six others. It charges them with participating in a gunpoint kidnapping and robbery at a Dallas recording studio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithin hours of leaving the Dallas studio, a number of the defendants were on social media displaying some of the items that appeared to be the jewelry that had been robbed from the victims,\u201d Raybould said. No footage confirming this social media activity has been publicly verified. Investigators relied on an array of evidence. This included electronic surveillance and Greyhound bus records linking Dallas to Memphis. They also used cell phone and rental car logs, fingerprint analysis, and video footage. Authorities have taken eight suspects into custody across Dallas, Memphis, and Nashville. Meanwhile, one remains at large. Pooh Shiesty and his father were arrested in Dallas on April 1.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DOJ: Rapper Gucci Mane robbed, kidnapped in Dallas by rappers, including Pooh Shiesty and Big30\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X91tlNV-iV4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tensions-rise-as-shiesty-s-deal-with-1017-records-unravels\">Tensions Rise as Shiesty\u2019s Deal with 1017 Records Unravels<\/h2>\n<p>Officials say the confrontation unfolded under the guise of a business meeting.
