preCharge News FLORIDA — Atlanta rapper Offset is hospitalized after being shot in South Florida, according to his representative and authorities.

The shooting happened Monday evening at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, just outside Miami, police in Seminole, Florida, said in a statement to preCharge News.

His representative told preCharge News late Monday that Offset “was shot and is currently at the hospital receiving medical care. He is stable and being closely monitored.”

Seminole police said the shooting happened after 7 p.m. at a valet area outside the hotel and casino and “resulted in non-life threatening injuries to an individual who was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood.”

Two people were detained by police and an investigation was ongoing, they said. The site was secure and there was no threat to the public, and operations continued as normal, they added. 

It wasn’t immediately clear what led to the shooting. It’s also unclear whether surveillance footage from the heavily trafficked casino area could play a role in the investigation.
