Prosecutors say that YNW Melly asked Fredo Bang to pick him up after killing YNW Juvy and YNW SakChaser.

Broward County Prosecutor Kristine Bradley claimed that Fredo Bang (Fredrick Givens) picked up YNW Melly after he murdered YNW Juvy and YNW SakChaser. In addressing the court on Monday during the first day of Melly's double murder trial, Bradley explained that Melly sent Bang a pin of his location.

"What you're also going to find out, is that while Mr. Demons (Melly) is out there on the side of the road at four in the morning, 4:42 specifically, he sends a drop pin-- a digital homing beacon to his current location, to one of his friends, Fredrick Givens," Bradley began.

The Prosecution Brings Up Fredo Bang

She continued: "Fredrick Givens is also involved in the music industry. And he [Melly] asked to be picked up. Fredrick Givens then, about 11 minutes later, is sent another drop pin where Mr. Demons has moved a couple of meters. What you're going to find out as well though, is these digital leashes they have more than just phone calls..." Check out her full remarks on Fredo Bang above.

In Melly's defense, his attorney, David A. Howard, argued on Monday that neither the police nor the prosecution has been able to produce a realistic motive for the rapper killing his "best friends." “Do you know what does require motive?” he asked rhetorically. “A young man to wake up one day and decide that he’s going to kill two of his best friends – best friends that he grew up with; best friends that he hangs out with; best friends who he lives with; best friends whose careers he was trying to launch alongside his own. They have no reason for why he would do this because there is no reason. And if there’s no reason, it doesn’t make sense.” He also cited an Instagram user who posted about committing the murders afterward.
