A booking described to a newspaper is the police account of who is in custody and on what count. It is not a criminal complaint the public has seen, and it is not a conviction. The New York Post reported that LAPD officials named Gregory Walker as the suspected gunman in the February shooting of Keion White. The Post did not report a charge against Lil Baby, who was described as the person White argued with before the shots. What a witness told police about two gunshots is an allegation. A jury has not heard it.
The New York Post reported Friday, Oct. 9, 2026, that LAPD officials said Gregory Walker was taken into custody about 5:30 a.m. in Hollywood. Officers with the department's Gang and Narcotics Division found him after the LAPD was told he was in Los Angeles, the Post reported. Officials said Walker, 35, was booked on a felony charge of assault with a deadly weapon with a semiautomatic rifle. The Post reported that jail records list him at 6 feet 2 inches and 195 pounds and that he was being held without bail. Yahoo Sports published the same account. A jail entry holds a person for court. It does not decide who fired.
The Post reported that Walker is accused of shooting Keion White on Feb. 8 in San Francisco, just after Super Bowl 2026. White had thrown a party at Dahlia's Lounge, a bar and nightclub in the Mission District, and got into an argument with the rapper Lil Baby after Lil Baby was denied entry, the Post reported. A witness went upstairs to find a manager and heard two gunshots while gone, the Post reported, and told police that White had been shot in the leg when the witness came back down. Those are the witness statements as the Post described them. They have not been tested in a courtroom, and the Post did not report that Lil Baby was booked.
At the time, the 49ers called White a victim of a shooting who had sustained a bullet wound to his ankle, the Post reported. White, a 2023 second-round draft pick who joined San Francisco in a 2025 trade from the New England Patriots, needed surgery and then made a full recovery, the Post reported. He has played in all four of the team's games this season, with two sacks and six tackles. A team's injury statement from February describes a wound. It does not name a shooter. The count booked in Los Angeles on Friday is the accusation on the jail record the Post described. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Page Six says unsealed records from the Lively-Baldoni fight include Ryan Reynolds texts calling Baldoni a "predator and sociopath."
A text message in a court file is proof that someone wrote something. It is not a finding that what he wrote is true. Reynolds was angry in August 2024, and the records Page Six obtained show it. Baldoni has denied Lively's allegations from the start, and no jury ever ruled on them. Page Six reported the case settled in May. What is left now is the paper trail.

LAPD homicide detectives searched Joshua Tree on Friday for evidence in Christina Downer's disappearance.
A search by homicide detectives is a step in an investigation. It is not an arrest, and it is not a finding that anyone killed Christina Downer. Fox News reported the LAPD would not say what evidence detectives hoped to find in Joshua Tree, or whether they were looking for remains or a suspect. NBC Los Angeles reported that dogs were part of the search. Fox News reported a department spokesperson could not confirm the dogs. No one has been named or charged.

Woah Vicky says her mother, Carla Elaine Johnson, has been found after a Miami missing-person report.
The search is over, by Vicky's account, and police never announced foul play or named a suspect. The misdemeanor battery case against Victoria Rose Waldrip is a separate file. It did not go away when her mother turned up, and that count still has to be proved on its own paperwork in court.
