Rapper NBA Ben 10, an affiliate of rap superstar NBA Youngboy, was shot inside the Houston restaurant, Confessions.
Rumors about the death of the “Play Wit Me” hitmaker spread on social media, but OG 3Three’s mother confirmed that Ben 10, real name Ben Anthony Fields, is alive and alert after the shooting. “Ten is alert… Stop the made-up stories,” OG Monique wrote in an Instagram Story Thursday morning.
Houston’s Lt R.Wilkins confirmed two individuals were shot and in critical condition. Talking to the media, Wilkins explains the current condition of the victims involved in the shooting.
“Right now, this is a shooting, we got two victims. One been shot multiple times in the torso. Probably in his late 20s. Another has been shot in the extremities — in the lower extremities — and also all throughout his arms and everything, several times. They’re both transported to local hospitals right now. They’re both in very critical conditions.”

How the shooting occurred, Lt. Wilkins continued:
“So what we know right now is our suspect, who we don’t know who he is right now. We’re working on that. Investigators do a great job, I’m sure they’ll figure out who he is, was at this location, and had a confrontation with a couple guys. That altercation originally, it appeared from what they were doing was that they were trying to take his chains. We don’t know if they knew him or what that was, but it appears possible they knew this guy. And they were in the process of trying to rip his chains off.”
“That went on for 30 seconds to a minute, where these two guys were tussling with him. Actually got him to the ground and appears probably got his chains off. Right after that, another fella jumps in, and several other people jump in as well, along with these other guys, and they start having a fist fight. They’re beating this guy pretty bad. They got him on the ground, and they’re beating him pretty good.”

“Sometime during that part of the fight, the victim, who was originally looked like he was being majorly assaulted by several people and getting his chains ripped off, he presents a pistol. We don’t know where he got it from, but he got it. Must have had it in his pants the whole time. But he got it out and started shooting randomly. Ends up hitting two people.”
“Not certain if these are the same ones that were trying to rip off his necklaces or not. Again, the investigation just now starting. But investigators are going to get over here and try to figure out how it occurred. We got some folks on the scene who are talking to us. We got some good video.”
A video of the aftermath spread across social media, showing people in a panic, ducking behind restaurant tables and furniture in disarray. “Bro why somebody just got killed…,” an Instagram user captioned. “They just started shooting. Man, what the fuck!!! Bro what the fuck man.”
