The report explains that a new lawsuit has been filed by the families of Melly's alleged victims against the rapper, his mother, and his manager for millions of dollars. The civil suit would allow a jury to decide if the plaintiffs are liable to receive monetary compensation, should Melly be proven guilty.
Attorney Todd Baker, who is representing Williams' family, told Complex that, prior to the shooting, "tension began to develop between the once cohesive group of friends about how the money should be distributed. When there are less people splitting up the prospective money, the people on the receiving end will get more."

Things are not looking good for Melly because, in a hearing from August 2019, it was reportedly revealed that a video exists of the rapper admitting to murder. "There’s no regret for the shit that I did for that n***a to die," he allegedly says in the video, which was filmed one month following the murders of his friends. According to Broward County Assistant State Attorney Kristine Bradley's description, Melly goes on to put a pen to his head as though it were a gun, mimes pulling the trigger, and throws up a Blood gang sign.
