3 shot when a music video was being filmed in northwest Atlanta, according to the police

The Atlanta Police Department reports that as a music video was being made Tuesday afternoon, three persons were shot close to a park in northwest Atlanta.

Just before 5 p.m., police reported that they were called to the Dixie Hills neighborhood’s Verbena Street NW, next to Anderson Park, in response to reports of “several people” having been shot.

According to the police, a male, 24, was shot in the arm, and a man, 27, was shot in the back. According to APD, a 23-year-old male who had been shot in the neck drove himself to the hospital.

Medical professionals were on the scene, according to the police, and the victims were breathing, aware, and alert.

Owner of Slappin Tacos Chastity Roman appears to have captured rapper Lil Baby on camera on Verbena Street just before three gunshots occurred in the same vicinity.

“They were firing from behind me, causing glass to get all over my hair. I spent about twenty minutes on the floor.” Owner of Slappin Tacos Chasity Roman stated that “they should have had security and police should have been here.”

It’s unclear whether the music video shoot was authorized.

Pictures from the site, however, appear to show a music video shoot taking place in the neighborhood of West Atlanta.

Although they haven’t disclosed whose rapper featured in the video, police have stated that the gunshots were not included.

It seems to be a singular, focused incidence as of right now. That is corroborated by some of the witness information we are currently receiving, but again, the investigation is still in its very early stages, according to Atlanta Police Department Major Ralph Woolfolk.

Atlanta Councilmember Byron Amos of District Three remarked, “It’s frustrating, everybody’s got to come together, our law enforcement and the community.”

Since the Verbena Street area is within his jurisdiction, Amos arrived at the scene.

He added it’s critical that, in our efforts to combat violence, we keep in mind not to make Atlanta’s music industry a crime.

“I am aware of many people who genuinely make an effort to support the community in different capacities. Above all, we must keep in mind that this is an artistic endeavor. We must be able to distinguish between art and reality, regardless of how macabre the work may be, according to Amos.
