Ronnie G, known as Lil Ronnie, was shot and killed on March 3, 2025, at Slappy’s Express Car Wash in Forest Hill, Texas, along with his 5-year-old daughter, R’mani Sibley. Officers say Ronnie had parked in a bay and was vacuuming his Dodge Challenger when a white four-door Kia pulled up. Two men exited, approached and opened fire; both victims were fatally wounded despite first responders’ attempts at life-saving measures. Surveillance footage places the suspects at the car wash at about 10:48 a.m., and investigators describe the shooting as a targeted killing.
