On July 18, 2019, authorities searched the Hollywood Hills mansion of rapper YG, whose real name is Keenon Jackson, in connection with a police shooting in Compton that killed a bystander earlier this month.

According to Deputy Marvin Crowder, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, YG has not been implicated in the shooting and was not at the home – which he leases – at the time of the search.

During the raid, Tyquan Williams, 29, was arrested on a weapons charge, but officials did not confirm if the arrest was related to the shooting. Police insiders told TMZ that the weapon recovered from the site will be subject to testing.

Several other people were detained at the Hollywood Hills home during the search.

The fatal shooting occurred on July 3 after deputies tried to pull over a Cadillac Escalade – a company car registered to Jackson – in Compton because they believed the motorist was driving recklessly and under the influence.
