Rising Rapper FBG Murda Shot in Irving Amid Alleged Assault Case
On August 26, 2025, 21-year-old Dallas rapper FBG Murda (real name Cayto Rivers) was shot during an incident at a muffler shop in Irving, Texas. Surprisingly, officials list him not merely as a victim—but as a suspect in an alleged aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
The Incident
Police report that Rivers and another individual, Elijah Jacobs, entered a restricted area of the muffler shop around 2:30 p.m. When asked to leave, the pair allegedly became aggressive and brandished firearms. Attempting to flee, they dragged one of the victims with a vehicle. It was during this struggle that a gunshot struck Rivers.
First responders found Rivers about a block away from the scene and transported him to a hospital. Jacobs was arrested, and Rivers is expected to face charges once he’s medically cleared.
The Artist Behind the Name
FBG Murda was emerging as one of Dallas–Fort Worth’s most talked-about drill rappers. With hit tracks like "D To Da Murder" alongside BAK Jay amassing over 11 million streams and nearly 400,000 monthly Spotify listeners, he was also listed among the top local rappers to watch in 2025.
What Remains Unclear
Several key points remain under investigation:
- The exact origin of the gunshot—whether it was fired by a victim, one of the suspects, or someone else—hasn’t been confirmed.
- Details about Rivers’s current condition are not publicly available.
