J. Kim Murphy Lontrell Donell Williams Jr., also known by his stage name Pooh Shiesty, has been sentenced to 63 months in prison after pleading guilty to a single firearms conspiracy charge.The 22-year-old Memphis rapper was indicted in June 2021 on four counts related to an October 2020 shooting at the Landon Hotel in Bay Harbor Islands, Fla.
Prosecutors allege that Williams and two individuals ended up shooting a pair of sellers they intended to buy marijuana and sneakers from.
Both shooting victims survived the incident.Following his indictment, Williams engaged in a plea deal with prosecutors, pleading guilty to a charge of conspiracy to possess a firearm in furtherance of violent and drug-trafficking crimes.
In turn, three other charges against the rapper were dropped, including one that alleged that Williams fired the weapon himself, which would have seen him face a much longer prison term.
