Offset Shot Outside Florida Casino and Remains Stable

Police are probing a valet-area fight that preceded the gunfire.

Overview

  • Offset, who was shot Monday after 7 p.m. in the valet area outside the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida, suffered non-life-threatening wounds and was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital.
  • Seminole Police said they secured the scene, detained two people, and opened an active investigation with no ongoing threat to the public.
  • One detainee, rapper Tione Jayden Merritt (Lil Tjay), was booked on a misdemeanor disorderly conduct — affray charge and was not charged in the shooting, according to police.
  • Offset’s representative said he remains in the hospital in stable condition and is being closely monitored.
  • Lil Tjay’s lawyer refuted viral claims that he was shot or fired a weapon, and the case is drawing added attention given the 2022 killing of Offset’s Migos bandmate Takeoff.
