Rapper Rick Ross had a narrow escape on Monday morning, and police are examining surveillance footage from businesses near the incident in an attempt to gather evidence.
On Monday morning, Ross crashed his Rolls-Royce into an apartment building in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. as he was attempting to flee from a drive-by shooting, one in which he was the intended target. Details are slowly unfolding, but it's been confirmed that Ross was driving the car, and Shateria L. Moragne-el -- who is reportedly dating the rapper -- was riding shotgun (no pun intended)
Police say another vehicle pulled up next to the Ross' car, when someone inside opened fire on the Rolls-Royce. Ross was not shot during the incident, nor was Moragne-el. Local reports say that "dozens" of shots were fired at the vehicle during the 5 a.m. EST incident. None hit the Rolls-Royce, but buildings in the area were struck by gunfire.
Ross' crashed into the apartment building while trying to flee from the gunfire.
Meanwhile, the police are looking toward security cameras at a building across the street from the crash. They were reportedly rolling during the incident, and authorities hope the video will either reveal the car, its license plate, or even the identity of the shooter.
So far, no suspects have been identified and no arrests have been made. The suspects fled from the scene before police arrived.
