Clarifying False Reports: Ben 10 Is Alive and Responsive
Despite widespread rumors circulating on social media claiming the death of the “Play Wit Me” artist, reliable sources have confirmed that Ben 10 remains alive and conscious. OG Monique, mother of OG 3Three, reassured fans via Instagram Stories, stating, “Ten is alert… Stop the made-up stories.”
Details from Houston Police on the Shooting Incident
Lieutenant R. Wilkins of the Houston Police Department provided an update on the victims’ conditions, confirming that two individuals were shot and are currently in critical condition. He described the injuries as follows:
“One victim, likely in his late 20s, sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the torso. The other was shot several times in the arms and lower extremities. Both have been rushed to local hospitals and remain in critical condition.”
Sequence of Events Leading to the Shooting
According to Lt. Wilkins, the shooting stemmed from a confrontation involving the suspect and several individuals at the restaurant. Investigators are actively working to identify the suspect, who remains at large.
Wilkins explained, “The altercation began when two men appeared to attempt to forcibly remove chains from the suspect. It’s unclear if they were acquainted, but the struggle lasted approximately 30 seconds to a minute, during which the suspect was brought to the ground and his chains were likely taken.”
“Following this, additional individuals joined the fray, escalating into a physical fight where the suspect was severely beaten on the ground.”
Gunfire Erupts Amidst the Fight
During the violent altercation, the suspect produced a firearm-believed to have been concealed on his person-and discharged it, striking two people. It remains uncertain whether the victims were the same individuals involved in the initial chain-snatching attempt.
“The investigation is in its early stages,” Lt. Wilkins noted. “We have witnesses cooperating and valuable video footage that will aid in piecing together the full story.”
Social Media Reaction and Video Evidence
Footage capturing the chaotic aftermath quickly spread online, showing patrons scrambling for cover amid overturned tables and general disorder. One Instagram user expressed shock, writing, “Bro why somebody just got killed… They just started shooting. Man, what the fuck!!!”

The 26-year-old rapper from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, had posted an Instagram Story just hours before the incident, featuring NBA Youngboy’s manager, OG 3Three.
