Federal authorities say a key arrest has been made in connection with a high-profile kidnapping and robbery case tied to Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane.

The FBI's Atlanta office confirmed Friday that a ninth suspect, identified as Terrance Rodgers, was arrested Thursday at an Atlanta residence by its violent crime squad. Officials said the arrest is linked to the alleged kidnapping and armed robbery involving Gucci Mane at a Dallas recording studio earlier this year.

Authorities did not release additional details about the suspect or the arrest. The investigation is being led by the FBI's Dallas office. 

The arrest marks a new development in that includes charges against nine people, among them rappers Pooh Shiesty and Big30.

Prosecutors say the group carried out a planned ambush on Jan. 10 at a recording studio in Dallas. According to a federal complaint, victims, including Gucci Mane, whose real name is Radric Davis, were lured to Texas under the impression they were attending a business meeting tied to a contract dispute.

Instead, investigators say the suspects stormed the studio, separated the victims and used firearms during the attack. Authorities allege Gucci Mane was forced at gunpoint to sign paperwork, while others inside the studio were robbed of cash, jewelry and other valuables.

Some victims were physically assaulted, including one person who was choked to the point of nearly losing consciousness, according to court documents.

Investigators say the suspects fled in multiple vehicles after the robbery. Evidence cited in the case includes surveillance video, cellphone data and social media posts.

All nine previously charged defendants face federal charges, including kidnapping and conspiracy to commit kidnapping, which could carry life sentences if convicted.
