San Francisco 49ers defensive end Keion White was shot at a nightclub following Super Bowl 2026, and the latest details have the troubling incident linked to rapper Lil Baby.
Police reports confirm that White had an argument with Lil Baby early Monday morning at Mission Street nightclub in San Francisco, where White was shot by an unknown assailant on the main floor of a private party, the San Francisco Standard reported.
Lil Baby attempted to enter the private event hosted by White, according to a witness interviewed by police.
From there, an argument ensued and resulted in White being shot in front of many people, including several strippers.
A witness allegedly went upstairs to get a manager’s help as the argument continued, but then heard two gunshots, with one hitting White in the left leg.
Topless women then began sweeping up dollar bills as police entered the club to investigate the 4:06 A.M. ET. shooting.
“As I entered, I saw numerous scantily clad females picking up dollar bills that were strewn all over the floor,” the police report states, according to the paper. “Some of the females were topless and appeared to have been adult entertainers.”
White was uncooperative with police when they arrived on the scene to attend to the injury, according to the report.
White is currently undergoing treatment at a local hospital. Lil Baby has not made any statement related to the incident.
The Seahawks’ 29-13 victory over the Patriots was played in nearby Santa Clara, Calif. at the 49ers home, Levi’s Stadium.
White was selected by the Patriots in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft and spent two full seasons in New England before being released during the 2025 season.
New England traded White and a conditional 2026 seventh-round pick to San Francisco in exchange for a sixth-round pick.
White played a small role for the 49ers in two playoff games and had 1 1/2 sacks in the regular season.
