AllStar JR was arrested and charged for allegedly shooting NBA Ben10 at a Houston restaurant back in April.

AllStar JR is in the middle of his trial for an alleged shooting at a Houston restaurant, which allegedly struck NBA Ben10. The NBA YoungBoy-affiliated rapper is currently paralyzed as a result of shooting injuries. But now, he and rapper OG 3Three will also reportedly face legal trouble over this incident.

According to TMZ, the United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested Ben10 and 3Three on Thursday morning (September 10) in connection to the shooting at Confessions from back in April. Per FBI Houston Spokesperson Connor Hagen, the organization and their partner agencies arrested a total of six people, including the artists, in Texas and Louisiana. Law enforcement reportedly confirmed to the outlet that these arrests are in connection to the Confessions shooting, although they did not specify any charges.

The FBI reportedly referred all questions on the matter, specifically about the charges against these six individuals, to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas. We will see if they share more information about this development soon. With JR's trial reportedly beginning on August 31 with jury selection with not many updates on it, this recent wave of arrests could complicate and possibly clarify the whole process.

NBA Ben10's Arrest

For those unaware, NBA Ben10 recently defended AllStar JR, which took many fans by surprise. After all, they were dissing each other in the lead-up to AllStar's arrest, and the NBA MC has spoken out about his paralysis.

Nevertheless, Ben10 said he doesn't want JR to go to jail. "The whole thing went wrong, but hey… if I ain't know the truth behind it… he ain't do s**t wrong but take care of business," he expressed in a video shared to social media.

AllStar JR was allegedly identified on surveillance footage of the Confessions event. Multiple people allegedly tried to rob him, which led to a gun falling on the ground and AllStar shooting it. He allegedly struck Ben10 and two other individuals, according to prosecutors' accusations.

They charged JR with federal possession of a firearm as a person with a felony history and an aggravated assault charge. We will see how NBA Ben10 and OG 3Three's arrests play into this.
