The Shooting: Retaliation for Abuse?

According to a friend of the Baby Mama, she sent this DM to us.

Booker was shot by his child’s uncle after the family allegedly reached a breaking point over his treatment of the mother of his child. Before the shooting,  The informat had sent to us explosive allegations claiming Booker had been physically abusing his baby mama for years, including an incident where he allegedly b*at her while she was holding their infant at 3 AM.

After the g*nfire, Booker went live on social media, visibly injured, in what some viewers saw as an attempt to control the narrative. Critics argue he was trying to play the victim despite the long-standing abuse claims.

Social Media Erupts: Vigilante Justice or Self-Defense?

The shooting has divided public opinion, with some sympathizing with the shooter—claiming he was protecting his sister—while others condemn the violence, arguing that the legal system should have handled the situation.

Key reactions from Social Media:

• Temeisha Imsofly Hill: “Damn I knew it was something 🫣”

• Bee Yu Teefull: “Somebody lying… I didn’t see not one bruise on her but ok go off …”

• Lovely Graves: “Take accountability. He wrong for b*ating her and she wrong for staying.”

• Queenv Wilson: “If he doing some sht like this, I am sure anybody’s family members would have done the same.”*

Legal Ramifications

While Mississippi has stand-your-ground laws, the shooter could still face charges depending on the circumstances. Meanwhile, if abuse allegations against Booker are proven true, he could also be held legally accountable.

Questions remain:
✔ Was the brother acting in defense of his sister?
✔ Will Booker face charges for alleged domestic violence?
✔ How will Batesville authorities handle this high-profile case?

A Cycle of Violence?

This case underscores the dangerous reality many abuse victims face—fear keeps them silent until someone else steps in, often with drastic consequences. While some applaud the brother’s actions, others warn that violence only breeds more violence.

Final Thoughts

This story is still unfolding, but it forces us to ask tough questions:

• When does protection turn into revenge?

• Why do abuse victims stay silent for so long?

• How can communities better support families in crisis?
