French Montana made the news last night after reports surfaced of an alleged ten people being affected in a shooting in Miami Gardens. At first, sources like Miami 7 News reportedly said that the incident happened on the set of Montana’s music video.

Now, today, the rapper has set the record straight — claiming that he was celebrating the release of his new mixtape, Coke Boys 6, with friends at The Licking restaurant.

Montana was reportedly not one of those affected in the shooting.

“Last night, I was in Miami celebrating the release of CB6 mixtape w/ friends at a local restaurant. We unfortunately were at the wrong place, at the wrong time when an incident took place that left people hurt. Our thoughts & prayers are w/ the victims & families at this time,” he tweeted.

“I took off running, and I was looking back, but I was like, ‘You know what? Let me just duck first, and then people started asking me, you know, ‘Can you help me?’” a witness, Ced Mogul told Miami 7 yesterday evening. “When I realized people were asking for help, there was nothing you could do about it when you got shot.”

The outlet also alleged that four victims were airlifted to Ryder Trauma Center.

“We’re still working [the scene]. Yeah, there’s multiple shots, there’s multiple cases,” MGPD detective Diana Gorgue reportedly said. “We’re still working. We can’t confirm any numbers at this moment, because everything is still fresh, and they’re still investigating.”

Rob49 Shot On Video Set With French Montana, Latter’s Bodyguard Is “Fighting For His Life”

by

The year is already off to a tumultuous start, with French Montana and Rob49 becoming the latest rappers in the midst of a bloody battle. As NBC Miami reports, the two were at a video shoot in Florida on Thursday (January 5) when gunfire eventually erupted.

Local police responded to a ShotSpotter call prior to 8 PM last night. It brought them to The Licking Miami Gardens on Northwest 27th Street. Detective Diana Gourgue is providing the media with updates, sharing that the altercation initially began in one location, and moved to the restaurant later.

Ultimately, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue says that a total of 10 people were injured at the crime scene. Four of them were able to bring themselves to the hospital, while medical officials transported the other six.

At this time, the condition of their injuries remains unknown. Reports circulating online state that Rob49 himself was hit by bullets, but remains in stable condition. Montana’s bodyguard, however, is suffering a far worse fate. Allegedly, he’s been fighting for his life following the shooting.

The gunfire apparently rang out as a result of a robbery. Another artist, Ced Mogul, was on location at the video shoot behind a KFC. After someone’s things were stolen, filming moved to The Licking, where guns were a blaze.

As far as we know, no arrests have presently been made, though police continue to investigate the situation.

Many social media users have already been reacting to the news. Specifically, several are condemning those keeping some of the more gruesome footage circulating online.

“If you’re sharing videos of the aftermath from that French Montana video shoot WITH PEOPLE LYING ON THE GROUND BLEEDING OUT, reevaluate your fucking life cos that’s ugly, heartless behaviour,” one person wrote.

10 Injured After Shooting Erupts at French Montana Video Filming in Miami

Multiple people are injured after a shooting erupted at a French Montana video shoot in Miami Gardens.

According to Miami 7, ten people were injured in a shooting outside The Licking. The report confirmed Montana was currently filming a video.

Police and Fire Rescue responded to reports of shots fired at the restaurant that is located at 17600 block of Northwest 27th Avenue ahead of 8 p.m. Law enforcement said there are two additional crime scenes but did not provide the locations of the other two.

“We’re still working [the scene]. Yeah, there’s multiple shots, there’s multiple cases,” said MGPD detective Diana Gorgue. “We’re still working. We can’t confirm any numbers at this moment, because everything is still fresh, and they’re still investigating.”

“We had a total of 10 [victims]. Four brought themselves to the hospital, and we’ve treated six transported,” a paramedic is reported to have said over radio transmissions.

An eye witness, Ced Mogul, at the scene stated he was on hand to watch Montana at the shoot but noticed that someone was robbed of their watch, keys and wallet.

“[He asked to] call his mother and see if we can get spare car keys and make sure, you know, he’s OK, and then the gunshots went off,” said Mogul, “at least 13, 14, 15 gunshots. It was very rapid, it sounded like an assault rifle.”

As of writing, no fatalities have been reported and no one has been taken into custody.
