The 25-year-old artist was reportedly inside a black SUV when unknown assailants opened fire near the intersection of 8 Mile and Beech Daly—a busy area notorious for its rough reputation.
According to multiple sources cited by FOX 2, the SUV was riddled with bullets before veering off the road and crashing into a nearby building.
Authorities revealed that Skilla Baby suffered a gunshot wound to the hand and was grazed twice—once on the head and once on the back.

Redford Township Police are currently handling the investigation, with no arrests announced yet.
The incident underscores growing alarm over escalating gun violence in the Detroit area, which has seen several high-profile shootings in recent months.
