Rapper, brother of NFL, Alabama star, shot at Hollywood studio during attempted robbery

Stacey Gilton, known as “Lil Yee,” suffered two gunshot wounds to the chest after refusing to turn over his watch during an armed robbery late Thursday inside a Hollywood recording studio.

The Los Angeles Times, citing sources, said Gilton was critical but stable at a local hospital.

An LAPD spokesman told The Times that Gilton, 32, was wounded by a suspect who had “fired several rounds at the victim during an attempted robbery.”

Gilton is the brother, according to SFGate, of former Alabama running back Najee Harris, who currently plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

According to The Times, police are looking into the possibility that the robbery was a set-up orchestrated by another rapper.

Gilton, a San Francisco native, went viral in 2016 with his self-released hit single “War” in 2016 with nearly 5 million streams on Spotify.
