State Property member Beanie Sigel has been reportedly shot in the stomach in Pleasantville, New Jersey earlier today. The incident happened around 9:30am, where he was transported to Atlantic City’s AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center for treatment.
UPDATE: It is being reported by NBC Philadelphia that Beans is in critical condition and currently in surgery. There was an apparent fight outside of the home and he was not the intended target of the shooting, and he had just returned home from dropping his kids off at school. Another man was also injured in the altercation but was not taken to the hospital.
Authorities and Sigel’s lawyer initially called the wound life-threatening, but hospital officials told police that the 40-year-old rapper was awake Friday afternoon after surgery, Pleasantville police Chief Jose Ruiz told The Associated Press. Investigators were on their way to try to interview him, he said.
UPDATE: Beans has been sedated and is out of surgery. Information has come out that he was shot at the home of his in-laws. He has not been able to talk with police, but one man has been detained for questioning.
UPDATE: According to Lt. Danny Adcock of the Pleasantville police department, Beanie Sigel remains in critical, but stable condition at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center. Police say he may have been a victim of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Because he is in and out of consciousness and breathing with aid of a tube and ventilator, he has not been able to speak to investigators about the incident.
His brother-in-law, Umar Salahuddin, is also not cooperating with police, so they have no leads as to who they think shot at the house with either one or two vehicles.
