Los Angeles, California – A security guard was shot multiple times outside the home of a prominent record-label executive early Monday morning. The executive, known as Cash XO, has collaborated with well-known musicians such as Travis Scott and Lil Uzi Vert. Despite recent criticisms in the music industry, law enforcement sources believe the incident was an attempted home invasion unrelated to Cash XO’s professional endeavors.
Police responded to reports of a shooting at a residence in Encino around 2:30 a.m. The wounded guard, described as a man in his 30s, reported that the attackers wore hoodies and surgical masks before fleeing on foot. Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene and transported the victim to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The guard was stationed near a guard shack on a private road outside the property when he was shot multiple times. Fortunately, he underwent surgery and is expected to survive. Authorities suspect the motive behind the attack may have been an attempted home invasion targeting the wealth of the homeowner.
Initial investigations suggest that at least four individuals were inside the mansion at the time of the incident, but it remains unclear if the executive, Cash XO, was present. Law enforcement is exploring the possibility that the perpetrators had prior knowledge of the executive’s wealth and intended to break into the home.
The shooting has highlighted concerns about security and safety in the upscale neighborhood of Encino. Residents and officials are expressing shock and calling for heightened vigilance to prevent similar incidents in the future. The incident serves as a reminder of the potential risks faced by high-profile individuals in the entertainment industry, even in seemingly secure environments.
As the investigation into the shooting unfolds, authorities are working to gather more information and identify the perpetrators. The music industry and the community at large are closely monitoring developments in the case, hoping for swift justice and increased security measures to prevent future acts of violence.
