According to authorities, a third person on the property was shot on the football field outside DaBaby’s mansion. The victim’s identity has not been released, but they are being treated at a Charlotte hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Channel 9′s Dave Faherty learned the person shot was not a guest or a resident of the area. Police believe the person scaled a fence to get on the property.

Officers have not said who shot the person or if any charges will be filed. Police said they did seize a gun from the home.

There are several no trespassing signs around the property, according to investigators.

“There’s a significantly tall concrete wall surrounded by, on the other side, a high chain link fence,” Chief Josh Watson said. “No, it’s like any other property owner, he’s entitled to his rights to secure their property and make sure nobody comes in.”

Channel 9 Skyzoom flew over the mansion Thursday morning, and security could be seen around the home, including a security car parked in the driveway for hours.

The home is located on more than 8.5 acres of land, and the property is valued at nearly $2.3 million.

“That much property being in Troutman, you just got to be a fool to touch DaBaby. You just got to be,” Troutman resident Anthony McCullah said.
