DABABY INVOLVED IN FATAL SHOOTING

The incident in Lawrence Massachusetts comes just 6 months after DaBaby - Jonathan Kirk - was involved in the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old man in a Walmart in Huntersville, North Carolina.

The dead man, Jalyn Craig, apparently pulled a gun on DaBaby and threatened his life, whereupon the rapper drew his own gun and shot Craig who subsequently died.

DaBaby was later arrested for carrying a concealed gun, but the charge was dismissed.

The rapper was never charged with any other offenses regarding the death of Jalyn Craig.
