Detroit rapper Skilla Baby was injured during a shooting in which over 20 rounds were fired toward the vehicle he was driving Thursday evening in Redford Township, according to police.
The 26-year-old rapper, whose real name is Trevon Gardner, was reported in stable condition Friday “and should make a full recovery,” the Redford Township Police Department said in a statement.
The emergency call about 7 p.m. sent police officers to the area of Eight Mile Road and Beech Daly after an SUV crashed into a building. The driver was the only person in the vehicle at the time. Police said in their report they determined over 20 rounds were fired toward the vehicle before the suspect ran off. A witness took the wounded driver to a local hospital.
Gardner “suffered three non-fatal gunshot wounds before crashing his vehicle,” police said.
Multiple sources reported that the rapper was grazed in the head and shot in the leg.
