Offset Shot Outside Florida Casino, In Stable Condition at Hospital

Police have charged rapper Lil Tjay with misdemeanor disorderly conduct.

Overview

  • Offset, 34, was shot Monday evening in the valet area outside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, and he is in stable condition at Memorial Regional Hospital.
  • Seminole Police said officers arrived quickly, detained two people at the scene, secured the area, and kept casino operations running with no ongoing threat to the public.
  • Police later identified one detainee as Tione Jayden Merritt (Lil Tjay) and charged him with disorderly conduct — affray, while a second person remained detained without charges.
  • After rumors online named Lil Tjay, his attorney said he was neither shot nor accused of a shooting in the case.
  • The incident drew added attention given the 2022 killing of Migos member Takeoff, which continues to shape concern about gun violence involving high-profile artists.
