Lil Baby is accused of getting into an altercation with San Francisco 49ers player Keion White, who was shot shortly after.
On Monday (February 9), Bay Area news outlet the San Francisco Standard reported on the shooting, which occurred around 4 a.m. at a Super Bowl post-game party at Dahlia nightclub. A witness told police Lil Baby and his entourage tried to enter White’s private area, leading to an argument between Baby and White. When two gunshots were heard, the witness left the club floor to notify management and returned to find White shot in the leg.
White was reportedly uncooperative when police asked him who the shooter was. No arrests have been made and police have not named a suspect in the shooting, Fox 2 in San Francisco reported. According to a statement released by the 49ers, White suffered a gunshot wound to his ankle and has undergone surgery. The injury is not life-threatening.
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie released a statement about the shooting on social media on Monday.
“Any violence in our city is unacceptable, and I wish Keene a speedy recovery,” the statement read. “I have spoken with SFPD and 49ers leadership, and we are both grateful for the quick response of SFPD officers. As always, I will continue to work with San Francisco law enforcement to keep our communities and residents safe.”
XXL has reached out to Lil Baby’s team and the San Francisco Police Department for comment.
