FBG Murda took multiple bullets during a scuffle at a Texas muffler shop, but police say he’s no victim—they’re calling him the aggressor in an armed confrontation that left him hospitalized and facing charges.
The 26-year-old Dallas rapper, born Cayto Rivers, was shot several times on Tuesday (March 26) during a violent altercation at a business in Irving, according to the Irving Police Department.
Authorities say the incident involved FBG Murda, 21-year-old Elijah Jacobs and the shop’s owners.
Police allege that Murda and Jacobs entered a restricted area of the shop, became hostile when told to leave, pulled out guns and got into a physical fight with the business owners.
“During the struggle, the suspects threatened to shoot the victims,” police said in a statement. “As one victim held onto a suspect, the suspects attempted to flee in a vehicle, dragging the victim alongside. During this altercation, a firearm was discharged, and one suspect was struck.”
Despite being the one shot, Murda is listed by police as a suspect, not a victim.
Once he’s released from medical care, he’s expected to be booked for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Jacobs was arrested and charged with the same offense.
Video clips posted to social media show Murda receiving emergency care after the shooting, prompting concern from the Hip-Hop community.
The rapper has built a strong presence in the Dallas drill scene, with a growing audience on TikTok and Spotify.
