Police in the city of Conyers, Georgia, are on the lookout for a Cincinnati-based rapper after a brazen bank robbery. Reportedly, rapper Kevin Simons, aka “Kevmurda,” arrived in Georgia last week on a Greyhound Bus with his girlfriend, who is identified as Alyssa Williams, 21. The pair apparently wanted a fresh start in the metro Atlanta area and bank robbery seemed like a rational choice.
Simons actually posted a YouTube music video sometime ago were he simulates robbing a bank. In a case of life imitating art, Simons went to a Wells Fargo Bank and passed a note to a teller that read “someone put money in the bag.” Simons received an undisclosed amount of cash and then left the bank, running across a highway toward a drug store, and then into trees behind the building. Police arrived at the scene of the crime and found evidence they say tied Simons to the crime. According to Cpl. Buck Vaughn, police during a search of the area found “The pants he was wearing. A pair of sunglasses he was wearing inside the bank. We also located the ‘demand note’ he provided the teller, and a .40 caliber Smith and Wesson handgun.”
About 30 minutes after the robbery, Simons’ girlfriend returned to the scene to look for the gun that was stashed in the woods, and that is when she was arrested. Detectives in the case have said that Simons is a member of the Ohio-based Heartless Felons street gang.
Simons is considered a potentially armed and dangerous fugitive from justice and may be hiding somewhere in the metro Atlanta area. Simons joins a growing list of aspiring rappers who decided to increase their cash flow through bank robbery. Among the most well-known is rapper Christopher Douglass Roney, known as Cool C, who robbed a bank near Philadelphia in which a female officer was killed.
