Rapper DaBaby shot intruder at his North Carolina home: report
DaBaby was the alleged trigger who shot a home intruder at his North Carolina estate on Wednesday night, according to a report.
The rapper was at home at his $2.3 million Troutman resort when a man entered the property around 7:45 p.m., TMZ said.
DaBaby, 30, born Jonathan Kirk, shot the intruder in the leg after the two words were exchanged, sources told the outlet.
“I shot him in the leg,” a man told a 911 dispatcher in a six-minute emergency call posted by Iredell County Emergency Communications and obtained by WCNC.
“Okay, and why did you do that? asked the dispatcher.
“He’s encroaching on my property… I don’t know why he’s here. What he’s here to take, what he’s here to do… He’s neutralized until you get here,” the man said.
Police had called the shooting an “isolated incident” and said “there is no threat to the community as a whole”.
No arrests have been made and the victim is expected to survive, officials said.
Police had visited the 9-acre property – featuring a 11,200-square-foot mansion, large swimming pool, full-size basketball court, chef’s kitchen, state-of-the-art theater room and custom-designed wine cellar – 30 times between 2019 and 2020 ABC News Radio reported.
