On August 26, 2025, FBG Murda, a Dallas drill rapper, was apparently shot multiple times while in his car in Irving, Texas. A video shot from the scene shows him stepping out of the vehicle and falling onto the pavement while yelling, "I can't walk, help me, I'm shot." First responders came shortly thereafter to treat him before taking him to a hospital where he is in serious condition.
Police Investigation and Present Condition
Authorities believe that the Irving Police Department has begun an investigation of the incident. No arrests have been made and as of now, there are no identified suspects or a motive. There is no information available about the case. Officials ask that if anyone has information, they should contact authorities.
In the direction of FBG Murda's recent social media conversations about "Free Cartel" and his past references to undisclosed conflicts, warrant further inquiry—but no investigators have determined if this is related to the shooting incident. He is still being treated in the hospital in critical condition, and when more information becomes available, it will be shared.
FBG Murda, also known as Lil Bayto, is a new and rising rapper in the Dallas drill rap movement. He is part of the Fly Boy Gang (FBG) group, and is becoming widely known for his gritty, high-energy sound and genuine storytelling.
His music is made up of songs like Book Me, Clean Up Crew, Headspinners, Real Dallas, Back2Back, and 3AM In The Yams. He has gained a good social media following on Instagram and TikTok, and is quite active in engaging his fanbase and followers.

The news of FBG Murda’s shooting has been alarming to his fans as well as fellow rappers and members of the larger hip-hop community.
