Raheem Bacon, brother of former NBA and EuroLeague player Dwayne Bacon, died last Friday (July 28) in a fatal shooting at Jade Fox Lounge on Lakeland Highlands Road, Florida.

This incident took place when Dwayne Bacon had a party in the lounge, with many people in attendance. Raheem Bacon, known professionally as 350Heem, attended the party hosted by his brother to celebrate the release of his newest mixtape 'Taking Chances 3.'

The party had an all-white theme featuring VIP booths, discounted tequila shots, and a professional photographer. The compilation features 15 songs, including one titled 'Gunshots.'

Lounge owner Jian Zhang turned on the lights at around 1:40 a.m. to shut down the party, citing city regulations, when some people refused to do so, triggering a fight.

According to several reports, the firing took place at around 1:51 a.m. after the party was over. After the shooting, Raheem Bacon was taken to a hospital, where he died.

The officers arrested the 23-year-old Jamilah Johnson, and a gun was recovered at the scene. Police discovered the gun had been reported stolen in 2015.

Johnson faces one charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. According to Polk County Jail's online inquiry page, she is being held in Polk County Jail.
