Shooting on French Montana music video set leaves multiple injured
A shooting on the set of forthcoming music video from rappers French Montana and Rob49 left multiple people injured Thursday.
The Miami Gardens Police Department confirmed to CBS4 that “multiple people” had been shot in the parking lot of The Licking restaurant where the rappers had been filming.
At least four victims required air transport to Jackson Memorial Hospital for treatment, but their condition is unknown.
“Last night, I was in Miami celebrating the release of my CB6 mixtape w/ friends at a local restaurant,” the “Unforgettable” rapper tweeted Friday. “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.”
Reps for French Montana, 38, and Rob49 didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
“There were multiple shots fired, it sounded like an assault rifle,” witness Ced Mogul, who came to the restaurant to watch Montana shoot the video, told the outlet.
Mogul said there were 10 to 15 gunshots and people on the set began to scatter immediately.
“When we heard the gunshots… people started running, some people had blood on their shirts, some people were crying on the ground,” Mogul said. “It’s just tragic.”
Mogul also told News7 Miami that he initially started running but then decided to duck and cover.
“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?’” he recalled.
“When I realized people were asking for help, there was nothing you could do about it when you got shot.”
A law enforcement source told CBS4 that detectives would be going through multiple videos posted on social media, as well as surveillance video from nearby businesses.
Police said they believe the shooting was an isolated incident. It’s unclear whether they have taken anyone into custody as of yet.
