A man charged in the fatal shooting of Dallas rapper Zeethewizard was a member of the musician's "entourage," according to media reports citing an arrest warrant affidavit in the case. The U.S. Marshalls Task Force arrested Dameian Roberson on a murder charge in connection with the death of Zecqurie Fields, which is the 25-year-old rapper's legal name, the Dallas Police Department said in a news release on Tuesday, January 20. Information on Roberson's legal representation was not immediately available. Fields was shot in the head after a fight erupted in the parking lot of nightclub Pink House Dallas on New Year's Day around 3:35 a.m., according to police, the Dallas Morning News reported. Fields and multiple people were shot during what police described as an "altercation." He was one of five people taken to a hospital and later died on January 5, according to police. Rapper Lil Durk Arrested in Florida on Murder-for-Hire Charge: Report Fields performed inside Pink House Dallas during the venue's grand opening and later went outside to the parking lot with three men in his entourage, including Roberson, according to an affidavit viewed by the Dallas Morning News. There, they encountered another group of men, leading to a dispute resulting in gunfire, according to police. Both groups of men are accused of pulling out guns. Investigators determined Roberson shot Fields in the back of the head while he was standing behind him after they reviewed surveillance footage from the nightclub, KDFW reported. Authorities have not said who might have fired the first shot, according to the Dallas Morning News. It is unclear whether Roberson shot Fields by accident, based on the affidavit. Fields was an Oak Cliff-based music artist who was signed to rapper Future's Freebandz music label in 2025, WQHT reported. His funeral was held in Dallas on Wednesday, January 21, when Future paid tribute to him on social media. "Zee da Wiz INFINITY," Future wrote in an X post accompanied with two emojis, a dove and an eagle. Fields was described as a rising rap star by the Dallas Observer, which named him as "one of the hottest artists to watch" in 2025. 'Ready 2 Go' Rapper T-Hood Dead at 33 After Shooting: Report With nearly 40,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, the rapper's songs include "Chevy," "Anticap Music" and "Hate It or Love It." In a statement shared to social media on his death, according to the Dallas Observer, the musician's sister wrote: "Zee was more than an artist. He was a light. He consistently encouraged people to stay positive, keep going, and choose hope, even when life gets heavy. While we are devastated by this loss, we ask everyone who loved him to help carry that message forward, not only through his music, but through the way you treat each other, the way you show up for your people, and the way you choose love." In reaction to the news of the shooting, Chicago-based rapper G Herbo announced that he had collaborated with Fields on a new project, which was going to be released the week after Fields' death, the Dallas Observer reported. "I wanted to see you shine for real," read an Instagram story shared by G Herbo, according to the newspaper. "Long live you bro! Real good dude man. Genuine dude."
