Posted on 4 July 20254 July 2025 By IntheBox Blog 1 Comment on 16SHOTEM Arrested over mass shooting at Album Release Party

đź“° Chicago, July 3, 2025 â€“ In a shocking turn of events, local blogger and YouTube personality 16shotem has been detained by police in connection with the deadly mass shooting outside rapper Mello Buckzz’s album release party earlier this week.

đźš“ The arrest

Police sources confirm that 16shotem, known for covering the Chicago drill and rap scene, was taken into custody late Thursday night. Investigators reportedly believe he may have had information about the planned attack or connections to individuals involved. At the moment, no formal charges have been filed, and police say the investigation remains active.

📸 Who is 16shotem?

16shotem is widely recognized for his street interviews and raw footage from Chicago neighborhoods, often documenting rising artists, community tensions, and local events. His channel has tens of thousands of subscribers who follow his close-up reports on the city’s underground scene.

🔫 The tragedy

The shooting took place outside the Artis Lounge in River North, where Mello Buckzz was celebrating the release of her new album “Hollyhood.” Four people were killed (two men and two women), and at least 14 others were injuredwhen gunmen opened fire from a passing vehicle.

đź’” Mello Buckzz reacts

On social media, the rapper mourned the loss of two close friends:

“I can’t believe i lost both yall in 1 night… my heart is broke into so many pieces.”

She also called for peace, asking fans not to retaliate.

🔍 What police say

Chicago PD declined to provide details about the blogger’s possible role, citing the ongoing investigation. Officials stated only that detectives are exploring all leads, including social media activity, connections within the rap scene, and prior altercations.

📚 Broader context

Chicago has faced a series of high-profile shootings linked to rap events and feuds. Critics argue that some media figures and influencers have at times blurred the line between coverage and involvement, unintentionally fueling conflicts.

⚖️ What’s next

Authorities will decide in the coming days whether to press charges against 16shotem. Meanwhile, the rapper’s team and victims’ families are urging the public to let justice take its course.
