Offset Shot Outside Florida Casino, Hospitalized in Stable Condition

Police link the gunfire to a fight outside the Seminole Hard Rock valet, with no shooter named.

Overview

  • Offset was shot Monday shortly after 7 p.m. in the valet area outside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, and was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital.
  • His representative said he is stable and being closely monitored as he receives medical care.
  • Seminole Police said officers contained the scene quickly, detained two people, reported no ongoing threat to the public, and kept casino operations running.
  • Police said the incident began as a fight, and rapper Lil Tjay (Tione Jayden Merritt) was booked on disorderly conduct–affray and an invalid-license charge, while his lawyer said he was not involved in any shooting; a second person was detained but not charged.
  • Investigators have not identified a shooter or motive, and the case has renewed scrutiny of safety around high-profile venues given the 2022 fatal shooting of Migos member Takeoff.
