Last Saturday night (July 20), Beach was found blocks from the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, KY., following the EST Gee and Friends Summer Jam concert which also featured artists including Lil Baby, 42 Dugg, and more.

WDRB reported the city and venue increased security for the sold-out event due to EST Gee’s affiliation with Everybody Shine Together, an alleged street gang. This included heavy police presence outside of the venue as well as members of the special response team, SWAT, air unit, and criminal interdiction unit. In total, at least 80 officers were sent out, using more than 600 hours of overtime, costing more than $44,000.

According to the outlet, a letter from County Attorney Mike O’Connell to the general manager of the KFC Yum! Center suggested the arena cancel the concert due to the threat of gun violence.
