Three known associates of
Tekashi 6ix9ine just got slapped with federal indictments, and law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Tekashi dropped the dime on one of them for the
Chief Keefshooting.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Kintea McKenzie, Anthony Ellisonand Demard Butler have all been indicted in connection with same crimes for which Tekashi was indicted.
More specifically, we're told McKenzie (aka Kooda B) was indicted right after Tekashi spoke with investigators and pinned him as the trigger man at the
Keef shooting last June in TimesSquare.
McKenzie was allegedly paid $10k to shoot Chief Kee
f ... according to our law enforcement sources. Remember, Tekashi and Keef had been beefing leading up to the shooting. As we first reported ... 2 men, including
a known Tekashi associate, tracked down Keef in NYC and opened fire but missed.
We're told authorities have not apprehended McKenzie. Ellison is already in custody for allegedly
kidnapping and assaulting Tekashi ... and Butler was busted by the ATF on Wednesday. They're all expected to appear in court later this afternoon.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of NY declined to comment on Tekashi's cooperation. We've reached out to Tekashi's lawyer, so far no word back.
As we previously reported ... the feds had been looking into whether Tekashi ordered the hit after heappeared to
dime himself out on video. He's been behind bars since November when he was busted on
racketeering charges.
