In a shocking incident that unfolded early Monday morning, 49ers defensive lineman Keion White was shot at a nightclub in San Francisco. The 27-year-old athlete was reportedly involved in a dispute with renowned Atlanta rapper Lil Baby, whose real name is Dominique Jones, during a private event.
According to eyewitness accounts, tensions escalated when Lil Baby’s entourage attempted to gain entry into White’s gathering. This confrontation quickly turned heated, prompting a witness to seek assistance in calming the situation. Moments later, the witness heard gunfire and returned to discover White had been shot in the leg. Another onlooker reported hearing multiple gunshots, estimating at least four shots in total.
Authorities investigating the scene recovered both a 9mm and a .45-caliber shell casing, along with an abandoned cell phone, as documented in the police report obtained by local news outlet The San Francisco Standard. Despite police inquiries, White was reportedly uncooperative regarding the identity of the shooter.
Lil Baby was in San Francisco for a post-Super Bowl performance, as indicated by event listings. Following the incident, the 49ers released a statement confirming that White was indeed shot and had sustained an injury to his ankle. He is currently undergoing surgery at a local hospital, with the team promising to provide updates as they become available.
