Miami police are working with Baton Rouge officials to determine a possible motive.

Over the weekend, NBA YoungBoy was targeted in a shooting in Miami. He and his crew were shot at when they retaliated, firing their own rounds and fatally striking a man that was leaving work, grazing a five-year-old bystander and hitting the rapper's girlfriend. The child and YoungBoy's partner are expected to make a full recovery. It was revealed that after being detained by the cops, nobody on NBA YoungBoy's team will be charged in relation to the shooting since they fired back in self-defense. Now, Miami police have started to investigate the matter with Baton Rouge authorities, believing that perhaps the trouble followed YoungBoy from home.

Right now, authorities in both cities are working together to determine what happened and why there were shots fired. YoungBoy Never Broke Again has reportedly not spoken to the police yet but officers are already looking into all possibilities, including the fact that Fredo Bang, one of his rivals, may have been involved. Fredo Bang and YoungBoy have some bad blood and coincidentally, Fredo was also scheduled to be in Florida over the weekend. Police have noted that they will be looking into the beef, hoping to question both rappers to determine if Fredo could be a suspect.

NBA YoungBoy is scheduled to appear in court later this week for an unrelated incident involving his probation. He will most likely be asked about the shooting that occurred near Rolling Loud.
