PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — Gunmen targeted the South Florida home of rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine on Sunday, ransacking the home and at one point allegedly holding the musician’s mother hostage, authorities said.

According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, burglars entered the house through the garage.

Deputies arriving at the home said they spoke to witnesses who were inside the residence. They told police that four armed men wearing masks ran into the home, ransacked it, and then asked for money and car keys.

TMZ was the first outlet to report the home invasion.

It was unclear whether Tekashi 6ix9ine, 29, whose legal name is Daniel Hernandez, was inside the residence. However, his 60-year-old mother was there and was reportedly restrained outside while the men went inside.

No injuries were reported, and no arrests have been made, the sheriff’s office said. No other details have been released.

An investigation is ongoing.
