Mims, the older brother of CMG rapper Yo Gotti, was killed during a shooting outside a local restaurant on Saturday (January 13) in what police are calling a targeted attack. Memphis police were flagged down regarding reports of gunshots outside Perignons Restaurant & Event Center around 4:15 p.m CT, where two men were shot. One victim, later identified as Mims, was rushed to St. Francis Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

A second individual was taken to the same hospital in a private car, before being airlifted to Regional One Health in Memphis in critical condition. Memphis Deputy Police Chief Paul Wright said both victims were at the restaurant for a repast service. Police haven’t identified any of the suspects and no arrests have been made, but they did find video footage of the incident.

“We do feel that the individual that was shot was possibly targeted by the suspect,” Wright said during a press conference.

Footage of both Yo Gotti and Mims at the funeral of Eric Bovan, a relative, made the rounds shortly after the fatal incident. Mims’ last Instagram post contained an eerie premonition. It read: “They don’t want to face you they wanna snake you…Stay alert 2 stay alive watch your back at all times…Put snakes on the plate and eat great.”

Many have concluded Mims’ murder was in retaliation for the 2021 killing of Young Dolph, who was Yo Gotti’s nemesis at the time of his death. So far, police haven’t found a connection. As for Yo Gotti, he has yet to address the shooting publicly.
