$1 million bail was set for No Jumper co-host Ant Jefe, whose real name is Maurice Shelmon, after Los Angeles authorities charged him with felony murder on May 19.
LAPD's Robbery-Homicide Division arrested Shelmon, 35, according to arrest records cited by E! News, while police had not publicly commented and no attorney was identified.
Adam22, who recruited Shelmon to No Jumper in May 2025, said on Instagram he was shocked and had learned of the arrest after Shelmon failed to appear for a May 19 podcast recording.
Shelmon had previously discussed multiple teenage arrests and gang-related cases on the podcast, while saying in 2025 that he had moved away from that life.
