Man shot inside Miami store is reported to be Atlanta-based rapper; shooter at large
Dozens of social-media accounts reported Tuesday the man shot during the weekend in a Miami Design District store was Atlanta-based rapper Lil Deko, but Miami police have not confirmed his identity, a department spokesperson said.
The victim, who is being identified online as the rapper, is expected to make a full recovery, Miami police said. He was shopping around 4:20 p.m. Saturday inside the Supreme streetwear store at 45 NE 41st St. when three men ripped off his $22,000 gold chain and shot him in the stomach.
Jamar McKay, who police say snatched the gold chain, Omarion Phillips, who was also allegedly inside the store, and the suspected getaway driver, Kevieon Smith, were arrested Saturday night inside a home in the 800 block of Northeast 90th Street in Miami Shores.
The shooter is still at large, police said Tuesday.
