ATLANTA — An accused gang member is headed to federal prison for a drive-by shooting at a southwest Atlanta gas station.
Prosecutors say GoodFellas member Tahj Rankin and others fired more than 30 shots in 2021 while attempting to kill a rival gang member.
A federal prosecutor said Rankin and his gang “terrorized customers at a gas station, unleashing more than 30 rounds.”
An innocent bystander was injured in the foot, and bullets also struck a car with children inside.
Authorities say Rankin was the driver of one of two cars involved in the shooting.
Rankin, 27, pleaded guilty to discharging a firearm during a crime of violence and has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison.
