Initial reports had suggested that NBA Youngboy's girlfriend Kay Marie had been shot in the gunfire but those reports appear to be incorrect at the time of writing.
TMZ also reported that several people at the scene suggested NBA Youngboy's security had chased down the alleged attacker and shot him dead, with a body later seen being wheeled into an ambulance on a stretcher in footage from the scene.
Miami Police are yet to confirm the facts around the story, however they have stated that another shooting happened not far from the scene shortly afterwards and they're investigating to see whether the two are linked.
