The publication added that “a car fled. No injuries reported. A weapon was recovered. A 53-year-old man was booked for a drive-by shooting. Investigation is ongoing.” None of the reports mentioned the former Seattle Sonics star by his name.

Kemp is a six-time NBA All-Star. He was selected in the first round of the 1989 NBA draft and helped the Seattle Sonics reach the 1996 NBA Finals, where they lost to the Chicago Bulls. In addition to the Sonics and Orlando Magic, Kemp played for the Cleveland Cavaliers and Portland Trailblazers during his 14-year career.

In 2020, Kemp opened a cannabis store called Shawn Kemp’s Cannabis in the Belltown neighborhood of Seattle. Last month he also opened a second location in the city. If he is convicted, the former NBA star could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison, with a fine of up to $20,000, according to the Washington Post.Read More…..
