This past August, authorities raided the home of Polo G and his brother, Trench Baby, and now the latter is facing some serious charges that could see him spend the rest of his life behind bars.
According to TMZ, authorities have just charged Trench Baby (real name Taurean Bartlett) with the murder of 20-year-old Dashaun Berry. They’re alleging that Trench Baby was involved in the drive-by shooting of Berry in a parking lot in North Hollywood on June 10. Trench was taken into custody after being charged with the felony murder.
TMZ reports:
We’re told paramedics pronounced Berry dead at the scene when they found him at 1:30 AM with gunshot wounds.
Cops believe the incident was just the first in a string of crimes Trench Baby allegedly went on to commit in the following months.
He’s also been charged with first-degree residential robbery for an August 15 incident — and faces an additional charge of dissuading a witness by force or threat on September 10.
We’re told both of those charges involve the same man.
If authorities have enough evidence to back up these allegations, Trench Baby might not see the light of day for a very long while.
The charges come months after police raided their mansion in Chatsworth, California, after Trench Baby was accused of being involved in a robbery that took place earlier. He posted $100,000 bail not too long after being arrested on that incident.

Things aren’t looking good for rappers Polo G and Trench Baby as authorities executed a search warrant and uncovered some pretty damaging evidence that could put them behind bars for quite some time.
According to Deadline, police arrested both Polo G and Baby Trench after executing a raid on Trench’s Chatsworth, Calif. mansion Wednesday (Aug. 23). What authorities ended up discovering on the premises was a illegal short-barrel rifle for which Polo G (whose real name is Taurus Bartlett) was taken into custody. His younger brother, Baby Trench (Taurean Bartlett), was also taken into custody as he was wanted for a robbery he allegedly took part in.
Deadline reports:
Trench Baby was released late Wednesday after posting $100,000 bail. Polo G was released on his own recognizance, according to Los Angeles County jail records.
Trench Baby has a Sept. 13 court date. Polo G is scheduled to appear on Sept. 12.
Polo G is represented by attorney Bradford Cohen, who has represented rappers Draze, Lil Wayne and Kodak Black. It is unclear who represents Trench Baby.
Taurus Bartlett, performing as Polo G, is a Columbia Records artist. His 2019 debut, “Die a Legend,” went double-platinum. The following year, his second album, “Goat,” had 10 songs chart in Billboard’s Hot 100.
No word on what kind of time the two men are facing, but expect Polo and Baby Trench to speak on the situation in their music in the near future.
