A man claiming to be one of Floyd Mayweather’s bodyguards was shot outside of an upscale hotel in Atlanta Monday morning. Cops tell us … they believe Floyd was in one of the SUVs in the entourage that was targeted by the shooter.
Police believe the shooter was familiar with the entourage or the group of vehicles. Police are not sure if anything happened earlier in the evening that led to the shooting.
“At this time, it appears that this was not a random shooting and the shooter was targeting the victim’s vehicle,” Hannah added.
The shooting occurred outside the InterContinental Hotel in Buckhead, Atlanta.
The shooting came just one day afterMayweather uploaded a Twitter post that read I don’t know nothing about tomorrow but I’m living for today, which has lead to theories that the undefeated boxer may have been aware that someone was trying to target him and his entourage.
