A Young Thug co-defendant and member of YSL and 21 Savage‘s Slaughter Gang has been charged with murder.
Cordarius Dorsey, who is already serving a life sentence without parole for his role in a 2019 murder, now stands accused of murdering Xavier Arlandor Turner by shooting him at the Old National Village Discount Mall in College Park on January 8, 2020.

According to court docs obtained by AllHipHop, Turner and another man were shot after allegedly engaging in an altercation with Dorsey. The suspect was reported to have fled in a black Nissan.
Dorsey had already been convicted for murdering someone at a Decatur gas station in 2019, with surveillance footage at the time showing Dorsey and Quintavious Jackson — a separate member of Slaughter Gang — waiting for Sulaiman Jalloh to arrive. When he did, Dorsey began arguing with him and shot him in the chest.

The pair then grabbed Jalloh’s bag before fleeing, which they were led to believe contained large amounts of cash. Dorsey was found guilty on multiple counts, including malice murder and felony murder.
Authorities are also arguing that Dorsey was part of “violent gang” YSL under Young Thug’s leadership that they allege conducted numerous violent crimes across metro Atlanta.
This is just the latest bit of bad news to befall the YSL camp in the midst of its sweeping RICO Case. As previously reported by WSB-TV, Young Thug (real name Jeffrey Williams) recently had a medical emergency while he was in court earlier this month, and the proceedings were halted as he was rushed to a nearby hospital.

“I know he’s had some difficulty of a similar sort at the Cobb County Jail a few months ago, and so I’m obviously concerned about his wellbeing,” his attorney, Keith Adams, told Judge Ural Glanville at the time.
“Mr. Williams is sleep deprived, mandated to wake up on court days between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. and not having more than five hours of sleep per night. By the end of the week, Mr. Williams is fighting to pay attention to the goings on in his case.”

Due to medical privacy laws, details about Young Thug’s illness were not released to the public. However, Judge Glanville did grant Adams permission to visit his client in the hospital.
Prior to this emergency, the “Stoner” rapper’s lawyers had heavily petitioned the courts to let him out on bond, arguing that the conditions in the prison were intolerable. Their petition was denied.
