Wake for DJ Nando to be held Saturday; $10K reward offered in his slaying
A $10,000 reward is being offered and a wake is being held Saturday for a popular DJ who was gunned down this week in Clayton County.
The wake for William Fernando Barnes, who made a name for himself as DJ Nando, is set from noon to 9 p.m. at Donald Trimble Mortuary, 1876 Second Ave., Decatur.
DJ Nando, who helped launch the careers of such artists as Cash Out, Rocko, Young Jeezy, Future, Migos and 2 Chainz, had just arrived home from work around 3:30 a.m. Tuesday when he was shot. Clayton County police and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation have made no arrests in the case, which remains under investigation.
Details of DJ Nando’s funeral, which will be held in his hometown of Richmond, Va., are incomplete. Friends have set up a memorial fund at Wells Fargo to help Barnes’ family with expenses.
The Club Owners of Georgia and Barnes’ family have put together a $10,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest in the case, according to Channel 2 Action News.
