Dwight Grant, who raps under the stage name Beanie Sigel, was sued in County Court by a man who says he was shot in the chest while attending the Beanie Sigel & Friends Birthday Celebration. Tyheem Baker claims that his shooter had a history of violence or substance abuse, and security should have checked for weapons at the door. Clear Channel Communications, which owned the radio station that organized the event, is one of about 10 other entities named as a defendant in the lawsuit filed Friday. (Court House News)
Additional reporting claims the victim is looking to gain $50,000 from the suit.
On March 7th, 2009, Baker was shot in the chest outside of the restrooms of Club Solo, leaving him with fractured ribs, and bullet fragments in his lungs. The lawsuit claims Baker was shot as a direct result of the "joint and concurrent negligent, reckless, intentional, willful and wanton conduct of the defendants." Baker claims Club Solo should have known that unknown individual who shot him should have never been admitted into the club with a gun and claims several other violent altercations took place inside the venue. Tyheem Baker is seeking $50,000 from the defendants, in addition to medical billsand money for pain and suffering. (All Hip Hop)
