TPD says White, known as "G. Weedy," is affiliated with the YGN (Young Global Nation) gang and was frequently seen in YouTube videos and social media photos brandishing semi-automatic and assault-style weapons. Police reportedly seized several firearms shown in those YouTube rap videos from his residence when he was arrested in 2019. When the arrest warrant was carried out in October 2019, officers recovered 112 grams of marijuana, digital scales, multiple loaded firearms, magazines and ammunition. The guns seized included a Colt .45 caliber pistol, a Smith and Wesson model SD9 VE 9mm pistol, a Smith and Wesson model MP9C 9mm pistol and a Glock 9mm pistol.
