Blueface arrested on murder charge

UPDATED 11/18 12:30 p.m. ETBlueface has been released on bail, his manager Wack 100 has confirmed in a series of posts on Instagram.

“Wack ain’t ever need #bail money for any of my artist ever,” Wack 100 wrote in mostly all-caps. “Man was released 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.” TMZ reported that a Clark County Court judge set his bail at $50,000, with a court date scheduled for Jan. 24.

In a second post, Wack 100 shared Blueface’s bond acceptance notice, which confirms his bail was set at $50K. 

TMZ reported that the incident happened over a bad joke, at least according to the alleged victim who police said was hit “multiple times” after the incident. Police have since confirmed there were multiple bullet marks on the truck that the victim escaped in, and he suffered a “bullet graze wound” on one of his hands.

UPDATED 11/16, 2:30 p.m. ET: A video that appears to show Blueface open fire on a truck outside of a club in Las Vegas last month has surfaced online.

Per TMZ, the clip shows the truck pull up on what is alleged to be Blueface and his crew, with him later firing a handgun at the vehicle as it sped away. He’s shown firing multiple shots in the video, which is seemingly security camera footage from outside of the club.

According to sources who worked at the venue, the unknown driver of the truck had allegedly drunkenly attacked Blueface’s crew earlier in the night. It’s unclear what provoked the incident, but one of the employees of the club said they overheard the man ask “who hit me?” before the gunfire started.

Blueface was arrested on an attempted murder charge in Las Vegas.

TMZ reports, “Cops on scene said they were executing an open warrant for his arrest. … Eyewitnesses tell us six to eight officers were in on the arrest, parked in unmarked cars.” 

The outlet says legal docs accuse Blueface of felony attempted murder with the use of a deadly firearm or tear gas on Oct. 8. He also faces a charge of discharging a gun into a house, building, vehicle or craft.

Video of the arrest outside Lo-Lo’s Chicken & Waffles—where girlfriend Chrisean Rock was also present—sees a bystander narrating, “The undercover cops just pulled up on him. … They just got his ass and threw him down.”

The news comes on the heels of several other charges against Blueface. Back in February, the 25-year-old was pulled over around 3 a.m. in Hollywood for driving with an expired registration. After running a check, police discovered Blueface had a suspended license. He was taken into custody on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle.

In September 2021, the Los Angeles native was accused of attacking a bouncer at nightclub in the San Fernando Valley. Sources told TMZ that Blueface was stopped at the entrance by a security guard who asked to see proper identification. After admitting he didn’t have his ID, things allegedly turned physical, as the artist and a couple friends jumped the bouncer and left. The man was taken to a local hospital where he was treated for bruises and scratches that required stitches.
