Alejandro Camacho explained the “Beat Box” rapper’s car was riddled with over 22 bullet holes. Spotem’s laywer, Raven Liberty, told the Miami Herald her client had surgery and was in stable condition.
“He is alive, most importantly,” she said before adding, “This was not a shootout. He was a victim of a drive-by shooting.”
SpotemGotemm was driving south on I-95 at about 3:19 a.m. ET when a car pulled up beside his and let off a hail of shots from an automatic weapon. The FHP lieutenant said Spotemm pulled over and called law enforcement, where he and the passenger were then taken to Aventura Hospital.
