After Saturday’s shooting, a second victim was rushed to hospital and is in critical condition. Shots were first reported to police around 4:15pm on Saturday. It’s believed two men were targeted in the shooting.
The shooting took place after Big Jook attended a funeral service in the area, according to TMZ. It’s currently unclear whether Yo Gotti, real name Mario Sentell Giden Mims, was with his brother at the time of the shooting and he is yet to speak out about his brother’s death.
