REPORT: GUNNA DENIED BOND DUE TO GEORGIA DA’S BELIEF HE WAS INVOLVED IN TWO MURDER: Criminal journalist George Chidi spoke to Vlad TV about the ongoing YSL gang indictment. Chidi revealed the reason Gunna’s bond was denied twice, saying, “In court, the District Attorney's office argued that Gunna was somehow involved and they were deliberately vague, involved in two murders related to a crips gang in South Fulton called the Shady Park Crips.” He continued, “I can’t figure out which murders they’re talking about, or how Gunna might be involved. I can’t find the agency that’s investigating that because it’s not the South Fulton police.
