Rapper Lil Deko's beef with people from Atlanta followed him down to Miami, and it ended in gunfire.

According to WSVN, a shooting broke out while Deko was shopping inside a Supreme store in Miami's Design District. The Atlanta artist told police that he was confronted by a group of men he knew from previous altercations in his hometown. Deko and the crew got into an argument before 25-year-old, Jamar McKay, approached him from behind, snatched a gold chain from his neck, and ran off. While Deko chased him, another man ran up and shot him in the stomach.

The suspects fled the scene in a white Mercedes-Benz. Video footage shows the moment Deko was taken away in a stretcher and placed into an ambulance before he was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital. McKay and the other two suspects, 21-year-old Kevieon Smith and 20-year-old Omarion Phillips, were spotted by the vehicle in Miami Shores, which is north of where the shooting occurred. Detectives followed them to a home where they executed a search warrant. They found Deko's gold chain and arrested all three men.

McKay was charged with armed robbery with a firearm or deadly weapon and resisting an officer without violence. Both Phillips and Smith were charged with accessory after the fact. Smith was also charged with possession of a firearm or ammunition by a convicted felon. McKay is being held without bond, while Phillips received a $7,500 bond. As of this report, the shooter has not been identified and is still on the loose.

Lil Deko survived the incident and is still recovering.
