AceShowbiz - On October 6, 2026, authorities from the Davie Police Department executed a search warrant at the South Florida residence of Trippie Redd located in Southwest Ranches. The operation, conducted jointly with the Miami Police Department, targeted rapper BalloutDaDon, whose real name is Braveone Jones.
The Miami Police Department confirmed that Jones, 25, was taken into custody following the search. He faces two counts of attempted murder related to a shooting incident that occurred on September 15, 2026, outside Dukunoo Jamaican Kitchen in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood.
According to an MPD spokesperson, the investigation is still ongoing. The shooting left two men, aged 18 and 23, with serious injuries. Both victims were transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center and were reported to be in stable condition.
At the time of the incident, police had no information about the shooter or the circumstances that led to the violent episode. The arrest of BalloutDaDon marks a significant development in the case as authorities continue to piece together the events surrounding the shooting.
BalloutDaDon is affiliated with Trippie Redd and is signed to the independent label HAB ENT. In 2026, he released two projects titled Yopstar and Yopstar Lyfestyle 2, and has collaborated with artists such as Luhh Dyl and 1900Rugrat.
Trippie Redd recently released his first album in three years, NDA, along with its follow-up, #NDA. XXL reached out to Trippie Redd’s team for comment regarding the search and arrest but has yet to receive a response.
This law enforcement action adds to the list of high-profile police raids connected to hip-hop artists in recent years. As the investigation into the September shooting continues, updates are expected to follow.
