Florida state prosecutors have dropped their witness tampering charges against rapper YNW Melly ahead of his double murder retrial set for January 2027. State prosecutors in Broward dismissed all four charges in the case: witness tampering; directing the activities of a criminal gang; criminal solicitation to commit murder; and conspiracy to tamper with a witness on a capital case. The charges involved allegations that Melly, 26, tried to dissuade a witness from testifying at his 2023 double murder trial, which ended with a hung jury. Prosecutors claimed Demons and Henry fired at Henry’s Jeep to make it look like they were targeted too. In a statement to Rolling Stone, Demons’ lawyers said they welcomed the dismissal of the tampering and gang-related charges.
