The surviving victim was rushed to a local hospital for further treatment.
After learning about the fatal incident, Sexyy Red took to her official Instagram page to issue a statement. Read Sexyy Red’s complete statement regarding the incident below.
“I send my condolences to the family of the man who lost his life and prayers up for the person who was wounded. But I gotta address the rumors that it happened at my video shoot because shit is not true at all. To be clear it happened at a gas station across the street from my video set. Florida Highway Patrol and Broward County Sheriff confirmed that the shooting wasn’t on my set. [I’m] secure, and thanks to my production team getting all the paperwork right and working with the Broward Sheriff’s Office to hire off-duty’s to make sure everyone was safe. We finished the shoot at a different location, and everyone from our set went home safely. Period. I’m just trying to work hard, make good music, and connect with my fans. Please don’t try to twist narratives and put this on a b*tch.”
