Rapper NBA Ben10 Shot in Baton Rouge in Second Attack in Weeks

Police have not named a suspect in the Baton Rouge shooting.

Overview

  • NBA Ben10, a Baton Rouge rapper also known as Ben Anthony Fields, was one of three people shot on Wells Street and taken to a hospital by private car, according to local outlet WBRZ.
  • Authorities say the conditions of the three victims have not been released and no arrests have been announced as investigators gather details on who opened fire.
  • The new shooting follows an early April incident in a Houston restaurant where an attempted chain robbery led to gunfire that left Ben10 critically injured.
  • Federal prosecutors later charged Detroit rapper AllStar Jr., born Jeremy Christopher Ford, with being a felon in possession of a firearm in connection with the Houston case, and a judge denied him bond.
  • Coverage notes Ben10’s ties to NBA YoungBoy and a wave of online speculation after the Houston shooting, though officials have not confirmed details about his current medical status.
