NBA Ben10 has been confirmed as one of three victims involved in a shooting that took place in Baton Rouge this week.
According to WBRZ, the Never Broke Again affiliate (real name Ben Anthony Fields) was shot on Wells Street on Tuesday (May 12) alongside two other people. All three victims were transported to hospital in a private vehicle.
No further info has been released.
The news comes just a month after Ben10 was shot during an altercation in a Houston restaurant — although, it wasn't until this most recent shooting that he was officially confirmed as being one of the victims.
According to KPRC, a chain-snatching incident at Confessions restaurant on April 9 led to a gun being fired in the establishment.
After rumors began to circle online that NBA Ben10 was involved and had died, OG Monique, who is believed to be the mother of NBA YoungBoy affiliate OG 3three, took to Instagram to dispute the claims and confirm that the Baton Rouge rapper was, in fact, still alive.
"Ten is alert… Stop the made-up stories," she wrote.
Two weeks later, Allstar JR was charged in connection with the shooting.
Authorities say that the Detroit rapper (real name Jeremy Christopher Ford), whose official charge is being a felon in possession of a firearm, was jumped at a restaurant on Kirby Drive in Houston on the evening of April 8. Reportedly, several people approached him and appeared to grab his necklace and watch, leading to a scuffle.
After this, police say a handgun fell to the floor during the fight, which Ford picked up and began firing as people ran. One person collapsed after being shot, while numerous others escaped to the elevator.
The complaint states that Ford fired more shots in the direction of another person running away, before returning to an injured person on the floor and firing rounds at close range while they laid on the floor. He is also said to have allegedly pistol-whipped the person and spit on them before leaving.
