3 people shot dead in attack while filming Lil Baby music video in Atlanta

3 people shot dead in attack while filming Lil Baby music video in Atlanta

Rapper Lil Baby was filming a music video in Atlanta when a nearby group of men allegedly opened fire on the crew, injuring three people.

The incident took place Tuesday afternoon in the Verbena Street shopping district in northwest Atlanta. Multiple videos of the attack and its immediate aftermath were obtained by TMZ.

The outlet reported that a group of men allegedly pretended to film something of their own near the set, before passing by and shooting from a white vehicle. They quickly fled.

Three men were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. A 24-year-old man was shot in the arm and a 27-year-old man was shot in the back, according to Atlanta police.

Authorities say a 23-year-old man who was shot in the neck managed to get to a local hospital for treatment. No identities of the shooting victims have been released at this time.

Lil Baby, who was not injured in the shooting, is reportedly one of the voices heard screaming in the clipseven if we don’t know exactly what he says.

A semi-automatic weapon can be heard firing continuously for about six seconds in another clip, and additional footage shows several car windows smashed after the attack.

So far, no details have been revealed about the possible motive for the shooting or the identity of the attackers.

Last September, gunfire broke out at a Lil Baby concert in Memphis and seriously injured one person in the audience.

Police arrested the suspect, Kevin Young, later that month, saying he was a “known gang member” who had previously been arrested in 2017 for murder.
