According to witness accounts, members of Lil Baby’s crew attempted to gain access to White’s private event. A dispute reportedly ensued between White and the Atlanta rapper, and moments later, gunshots were fired. One witness reported hearing two shots while retrieving help from management, while another claimed to hear four shots as they tried to descend to the scene. When police arrived, White was found injured and bleeding from the ankle, requiring immediate surgery.
The nightclub scene was described as chaotic, with strippers still picking up scattered dollar bills and some appearing topless. Police recovered a 9mm shell casing and a .45-caliber casing near the shooting area and secured surveillance footage and an abandoned phone found on the steps.
The 49ers confirmed White was shot and undergoing surgery, while San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie emphasized the city’s commitment to public safety. “Any violent incident in our city is unacceptable, and I’m hoping Keion recovers quickly,” he wrote on X. “We are all grateful to our SFPD officers for their quick response.”
While Lil Baby performed at a San Francisco event earlier Sunday night, police have not confirmed who fired the shots. No arrests have been made yet, and the investigation remains active.
The incident highlights the risks of high-profile celebrity events where tensions escalate, and authorities continue to appeal for witnesses to come forward with information.
