Police arrested Braveone Jones at Trippie Redd's Florida home on Tuesday in connection to a September shooting.

A 25-year-old suspect in an attempted murder was nabbed by police at Trippie Redd’s South Florida home, per TMZ. Davie Police Department said that they executed a search warrant at his home on Tuesday, though at the time, they didn’t reveal the reason behind it. However, the Miami Police Department now confirmed that they arrested Braveone Jones, better known as BalloutDaDon, in connection with a shooting last month. 

Police say Jones was wanted for his alleged involvement in a shooting outside Dukunoo Jamaican Kitchen in Miami on September 15. Authorities said that Jones was at Trippie’s property at the time of the raid, leading to his arrest. He now faces two counts of attempted murder. 

Miami-Dade County’s online records say Jones remains in custody in connection with a case involving two counts of attempted second-degree murder involving firearms. The records list bail at $15,000 for each charge. Ultimately, the City of Miami led the investigation while the Davie Police Department assisted in the search warrant.

According to NBC Miami, the September 15 shooting left an 18-year-old man and a 23-year-old man with gunshot wounds. Video footage of the aftermath of the incident swiftly circulated online, showing people rushing to assist the injured before paramedics arrived at the scene. Officials later confirmed that the two men were treated for their injuries, though they were in serious but stable condition once they arrived at Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center. There wasn’t much information available surrounding what happened before the shooting occurred.

BalloutDaDon is a budding rapper who inked a deal with HAB ENT. The Trippie Redd affiliate has been dishing out plenty of music this year, including the release of two projects, Yopstar and Yopstar Lyfestyle 2. He also appeared on a stream with N3on.
