The vibrant energy of a Miami music video set transformed into a scene of panic and chaos last Thursday as gunfire erupted outside a restaurant, leaving ten people injured. The incident occurred around 8 PM near a Miami Gardens establishment called The Licking, where rappers French Montana and Rob49 were filming a music video.
Witnesses Describe a Chaotic Scene
Eyewitness accounts paint a chilling picture of the event. “It all happened so fast,” recalls one witness, a young woman who wishes to remain anonymous. “One minute everyone was enjoying the music, and the next, we were all scrambling for cover.”
Authorities Investigate Possible Robbery Connection
While investigations are still ongoing, preliminary reports suggest a possible connection between the shooting and a robbery that occurred earlier that evening. A source close to the investigation, speaking on condition of anonymity, revealed that a member of the production crew was robbed of a valuable Rolex watch and a cell phone. This incident is believed to have preceded the shooting at The Licking.
Rapper and Crew Escape Unharmed
Fortunately, both French Montana and Rob49 escaped the incident unharmed. Said Mogul, a well-known figure in the rap scene, was present during the filming and provided his account of the events. In a video posted online, Said Mogul claims that French Montana’s security detail played a crucial role in protecting the rapper during the chaos.
Community Reeling After Shooting
The incident has sent shockwaves through the Miami Gardens community, a stark reminder of the gun violence that continues to plague cities across America. “This is a tragedy,” lamented a local business owner, his voice heavy with sadness. “We need to come together as a community and find solutions to end this senseless violence.”
Investigation Remains Ongoing
As the investigation unfolds, authorities are appealing to the public for any information related to the shooting. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Miami Gardens Police Department.
