Per the case he recently took a plea deal copping and admitted to voluntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, possessing a gun while committing a crime, and concealing the death of another all in exchange for the murder charge being dropped.
What happened?
Rooks was fatally shot outside of a home on 21 January 2021 in Decatur Georgia. According to the case, he was shot in the head and the leg. A witness from that day later revealed to police that Silento picked up his cousin that afternoon in a white BMW SUV which was later seen fleeing the scene of the crime.
