<p><a href="https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/longtime-manager-atlanta-rapper-ludacris-arrested-murder-charges/VJ4R6Y4OBBGXPDYTRYKLTDGHAA/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WSB-TV</a>, reports Chaka Zulu, —legal name Ahmed Obafemi— was arrested earlier this week in connection to a June 26th shooting in Atlanta, Georgia.</p>
<p>The incident reportedly took place in a shopping center parking lot, where Zulu and two others got into an altercation that ended in gunfire. Police say the shooting left 23-year-old Artez Benton dead, while Zulu and a third individual were hospitalized with gun wounds.</p>
<p>Zulu, who co-founded Disturbing Tha Peace record label, reportedly surrendered to authorities on Sept. 13, and was released on bond shortly after. He was also charged with aggravated assault, possession of firearm during commission of a felony, and simple battery.</p>

<p>Sources previously told <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/06/29/ludacris-manager-chaka-zulu-shot-self-defense/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TMZ</a> the shooting went down as Zulu, his associate, and a friend were leaving an event in Buckhead. While walking through the parking lot, the men were confronted by an individual who allegedly bumped Zulu with his chest.
