He has since been released from jail with no charges. Baby took to IG to say he acted in self-defense during the shooting.
Baby says he and his baby mama were shopping for “winter clothes” for their two children – ages 1 and 5 – when a group that included the victim confronted him.
“A n***a walked up on me, tried me, whipped out on my whole family,” Baby said. “…It was a 40 up on my family.”
Walmart issued a statement on the shooting.
“We are deeply saddened by what has happened. We are thankful for the quick actions by the Huntersville Police Department that has resulted in an arrest,” Wal-Mart said in a statement. “We are working closely with law enforcement. Since this is an active investigation, we will refer additional questions to them.”
