Ice-T's grandson has been arrested after his roommate was shot dead in Georgia earlier this week.

Elijah Marrow, 19, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, possession of a firearm and reckless conduct after the handgun he was allegedly playing with in his apartment accidentally went off and killed Daryus Johnson, also 19, on Tuesday afternoon (24.06.14).

Johnson was unconscious by the time police arrived at the apartment, and he later died from his injuries.

Police officer David Baldwin told the Marietta Daily Journal: ''Marrow was not using proper firearms safety when handling the gun. That reckless handling of the firearm is what led to Johnson being accidentally shot and eventually killed.''

Marrow is currently being held in Cobb County jail in Georgia and also faces charges of marijuana possession and having a stolen firearm, according to TMZ.com.

Meanwhile, the youngster has appeared a number of times on the reality TV show 'Ice Loves Coco, which follows the 54-year-old rapper and his wife Coco Austin.
Ice-T - whose real name is Tracy Marrow - is yet to comment on his grandson's arrest.
