DaBaby was on the verge of superstardom when he was cleared in the 2018 murder of Jaylin Craig, but new video sheds doubt on self-defense claim.

Leaving a trail of blood as he stumbles away, Craig collapses to the floor at the other end of the aisle. Walmart surveillance footage reviewed by Rolling Stone shows Craig and Douglas rolling through the entrance of the store around 6:30 p.m. local time, laughing. After DaBaby was vindicated, he bragged about the killing numerous times in music, causing further pain for the Craig family. Craig’s mother, LaWanda Horsley, was shocked DaBaby was able to skirt the more serious charge of murder and wind up with probation for carrying a concealed weapon. I’m not doing this for no fame or anything, because at the end of the day, Jaylin Craig is gone.” In the clip, DaBaby reportedly throws the first punch at Craig’s friend Henry Douglas and splits his forehead open, which later requires stitches.

The reason given was that "prosecutors could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant did not act in self-defense." DaBaby never faced charges of killing Craig but was convicted of carrying a concealed weapon in connection to the incident.

New Surveillance Footage May Contradict DaBaby's Self-Defense ... (Esquire.com)

The rapper's self defense claim after the fatal shooting of 19-year-old Jaylin Craig in 2018 is being challenged by new, never-before-seen footage.

Kirk wasn't prosecuted for Craig’s death on the basis of him acting in self-defense, however, he did face a charge and conviction for carrying around a concealed weapon. This incident is just one of several claims of violence that the rapper has had brought against him in recent years. But the new video, which was published on Sunday night, contradicts the performer's longstanding account of the altercation.

Every lawyer we talked to, they look into this case [and say] ‘OK, we are going to get back with you.’ We don’t hear nothing [back].” We all are going through the same stuff.

DaBaby Responds to New Video of Deadly 2018 Walmart Shooting ... (Billboard)

DaBaby has responded to a resurfaced video of a 2018 Walmart shooting, claiming in a tweet that the media has people "brainwashed."

While Curiel claimed that the incident caused him “severe injury and pain,” DaBaby has publicly debunked those claims and stated he was protecting himself as a means of self-defense. While police didn’t say at the time whether DaBaby was involved in the shooting, a 911 call since posted by TMZ appeared to be made by Kirk, in which the rapper tells the operator, “This guy was trespassing on my property. “Daughter could have got hit, son could have got hit [and] me,” DaBaby claimed in an Instagram video days after the shooting. Shortly after, the magazine reported, Craig appears to pull a gun from his waistband, then seemingly puts it back as he walks out of frame. Craig’s family members and best friend Henry Douglas told the magazine that the altercation began when Kirk appeared annoyed that Craig and Douglas recognized him and, irritated, asked them to step outside to fight. At press time, Billboard has not independently verified the veracity of the video footage.
