The grieving mother of Texas rapper Lil Ronnie’s 5-year-old daughter has asked people to stop sharing viral video of their final moments.
Forest Hill police say Ronnie “LilRonnie” Sibley and his 5-year-old daughter, R’mani Sibley, were targeted at Slappy’s Express car wash on Forest Hill Drive just before 11 a.m. Monday.
Surveillance video shows Sibley vacuuming his Dodge Charger when 2 gunmen approached the passenger side and opened fire, killing R’mani instantly.
In the video, Sibley, also known as G$ Lil Ronnie, Hoodfame Lil Ronnie and Chuckie Smith, is seen fleeing, but the gunmen chased him and fatally shot him.
In a post on Facebook, Shamon Jones wrote: “Anybody sharing that video of my babies last moments you will be blocked! Y’all are my Facebook friends. I don’t want that image of them in my head. I’m trying so hard not to spazz on you mfrs. FUNERAL & WAKE WILL BE PRIVATE JUS FOR THESE REASONS [sic].”
She continued: “F**K THE ENTIRE WORLD. Y’all don’t know how this sh*t feels. No remorse not even for my princess. Logging back off!!!”

“We are shocked, appalled and deeply troubled by the senseless and violent events that occurred today,” said the owners of Slappy’s car wash.
Forest Hill had no homicides in 2024, according to the city’s police department, but this year, they have had 5 murders.
“We were crime free completely last year, no murders in our city for one whole year, and then to have three different occasions back to back, we just have to all stand together,” Mayor Stephanie Boardingham said.
A judge signed a capital murder warrant for one suspect, whose name has not been released. The second suspect has not been identified.
“Currently, we are not ready to release the suspect’s name as the investigation continues,” a Forest Hill PD spokesman said in a news release.
However, Smith’s grieving fans named one local rapper as a possible suspect.
“Tell ’em laugh now,” the aspiring rapper mocked the victim in a post on Instagram. He also shared a video of himself stuck in traffic near the crime scene.
“Who tf got Forest Hill all blocked off? I’m tryna get a car wash,” he captioned the video.
Am angry follower wrote in the comments: “Bragging about killing a child is f***ing insane, karma gonna come back to you 4x worse better watch you’re [sic] back at all times.”
