The shootout on Monday comes nearly seven months after another one of Boosie BadAzz's concerts witnessed a shootout in August last year. Per People, the incident took place on August 10, 2024, when Boosie was scheduled to perform at an event being hosted at the Pacific Junction in Iowa, titled The Pull Up Car Show and Music Fest.

However, BadAzz didn't get a chance to perform at the event, as the shooting occurred in the venue's parking lot around 9 PM, a statement from the Iowa Department of Public Safety revealed. Per the authorities, the rest of the show was canceled as a result of the shooting, in which two Nebraskan men became the victims. The statement continued:

"The Mills County Sheriff’s Office is being assisted by the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, Iowa State Patrol, Omaha Police Department, and several surrounding law enforcement agencies."

The victims at the venue were later identified as Charles A. Williams Jr, 27, and Marcus L. Johnson, 28. Both of them died at the scene, while the motive behind the shooting remained a mystery.


According to HotNewHipHop, Boosie BadAzz was at a 2006 concert where five people were shot while he performed with Plies. In a recent Vlad TV interview, Boosie denied rumors that the shooting resulted from a feud between them.
