Drill rapper Dougie B released without charges after shooting by Bronx courthouse — and he may have been the target

NEW YORK — Drill rapper Dougie B was released early Friday after spending more than 12 hours in custody and will not face charges in connection with a shooting outside a Bronx courthouse, the New York Daily News has learned.

A source close to the rapper said it appeared Dougie B — who earlier this week was filming a music video with Cardi B in the Bronx — was actually fleeing a gunman, who fired one shot right before lunch Thursday at the bustling Bronx Supreme Court.

No arrests have been made, NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig confirmed to the Daily News.
