Lil Baby's entourage was allegedly arguing with Keion White prior to the shooting, according to a witness.

Lil Baby is in the clear after four men were arrested in connection with the shooting of Keion White at a Super Bowl party earlier this year, police say. Per KQED, police said that their ongoing investigation doesn’t find any links between the rapper and the suspects involved in the shooting. 

Keion White was shot in the ankle in February during a private Super Bowl party downstairs at Dahlia’s in San Francisco. However, a witness claimed that he got into a dispute with Lil Baby’s entourage, who were reportedly trying to enter the party. The witness said that they tried to go get help upstairs when he heard gunfire erupt. The witness told police that he couldn’t ID the shooter.

Gregory Walker and Curtis Green appeared at San Francisco’s Hall of Justice on Wednesday for their first court appearance. Walker was charged with assault with a semi-automatic weapon while authorities charged Green with brandishing a firearm. 

Walker is currently being held without bail while Green was released from custody. However, they are to return to court on Monday for their arraignment.

The other two suspects, Marquis Davis and Antoine Washington, were also arrested by separate law enforcement agencies. Davis was arrested by Atlanta police at his home. Washington was taken in by the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office in Stockton on October 7th. SFPD revealed that they’re currently working with the other departments to bring Davis and Washington to San Francisco to face their charges.
