Atlanta rapper Trouble was shot to death over the weekend in Georgia in what sheriff's say was a "domestic situation."

Trouble, real name Mariel Semonte Orr, was found laying on the ground and suffering from a gunshot wound on Sunday at 3:20 a.m. at Lake St. James Apartments in Conyers, Rockdale County Sheriff's spokesperson Jedidia Canty said at a news conference Sunday.

The 34-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene and the sheriff's office said they secured arrest warrants for suspect Jamichael Jones in relation to the murder. He is not yet in custody.

According to the sheriff's office, Trouble was visiting a "female friend" at the complex that turned into a "domestic situation." Jones knew the woman but did not know Trouble.

USA TODAY reached out to the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office for comment.
