Overview
- Police say the shooting took place inside Confessions restaurant in Houston’s Upper Kirby neighborhood on April 8 when a fight turned violent and gunfire struck multiple people.
- Harris County court records charge 36-year-old Jeremy Christopher Ford, known as AllStar JR, with aggravated assault for causing traumatic brain or spine injury tied to the April 8 attack.
- Federal prosecutors earlier indicted Ford on a felon-in-possession count, he was arrested in Detroit, and a magistrate ordered him held in federal custody pending further proceedings.
- Investigators cite surveillance video showing a gun falling during the altercation, social-media posts and a music video allegedly taunting the incident, and an alleged confession to Houston police as key evidence.
- Court filings say victim Ben Anthony Fields (NBA Ben10) suffered a spine injury that left him without sensation from the waist down with a prognosis of irreversible lower-body paralysis, though public posts by the rapper have suggested possible recovery and reports also say he was shot later in Baton Rouge.
