Consequences of Gunfire Exchange
It is ambiguous whether the rapper, Lil Baby, was present at the scene at the time of the gunfire exchange. Neither the rapper’s staff/team nor the police officials have confirmed his presence to the public.
Furthermore, none of the social media handles of Lil Baby mention the rapper recording a music video near Verbena Street in northern Atlanta.
Allegedly, an Atlanta-based media outlet, News Made It, posted videos of the incident on its Instagram handle.
According to a report by News Made It, “those who were shot were not part of the video production team for the music video.”
After gathering preliminary information about the incident, the police announced that they had received reports of gunfire and thus rushed to the scene near a Northwest Atlanta park.
According to Atlantanewsfirst.com, the music video was being filmed around 4:45 p.m. local time when the shooting took place.
According to online reports circulating on the internet, renowned rapper Lil Baby was neither shot nor sustained any injuries.
According to Times Now, three male victims succumbed to their injuries after being shot. All of them were in their 20s.
