According to police reports, White was hosting a private, exclusive party in the venue’s basement. Trouble began when members of Lil Baby’s entourage allegedly attempted to enter the private VIP area. Witnesses stated that a verbal confrontation broke out between the 6’5″ defensive lineman and the Grammy-winning rapper’s crew.

• Witness Account: One witness told the San Francisco Standard that they went to find management to help defuse the situation, but heard two gunshots ring out moments later.

• The Scene: Upon returning downstairs, the witness found White suffering from a gunshot wound to his left leg. Police arriving on the scene described a chaotic environment with currency strewn across the floor and guests fleeing the building.

Injury and Recovery

The San Francisco 49ers confirmed that White underwent successful surgery on his ankle later that Monday.

“Keion White was a victim of a shooting and sustained a bullet wound to his ankle this morning in San Francisco,” the team said in an official statement.

Medical staff has characterized the injury as non-life-threatening, and the organization remains optimistic that he will make a full recovery in time for the 2026 season.

Ongoing Investigation

As of February 12, 2026, no suspects have been named or arrested. Investigators recovered both 9mm and .45-caliber shell casings at the scene, suggesting multiple firearms may have been present.

The investigation has faced hurdles as police noted that White has been “uncooperative” with detectives regarding the identity of the shooter. While Lil Baby (born Dominique Jones) was confirmed to be present and involved in the initial argument, he has not been charged with any crime or named as a suspect in the shooting itself.
