Elyjah Marrow, grandson of actor and rapper Ice T, has been arrested after he accidentally shot and killed his roommate, Daryuis Johnson, in their Georgia apartment.
According to police, 19-year-old Marrow was fiddling with a handgun in his Georgia apartment Tuesday when it accidentally went off, fatally wounding roommate Daryus Johnson, who was also 19.
Daryuis Johnson was first transported to nearby WellStar Kennestone Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. Marietta Police Officer David Baldwin told reporters;
"Marrow was not using proper firearms safety when handling the gun. That reckless handling of the firearm is what led to Johnson being accidentally shot and eventually killed."

TMZ reports that Elijah Marrow has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, possession of firearm in the commission of a felony, and reckless conduct. He was also hit with possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute, and possession of a stolen firearm.
He is currently in custody. And so far, there's been no comment from Ice-T.
