Rapper Cameron "Cam'ron" Giles was shot in both arms shortly after midnight on Sunday in Northwest D.C as his car waited at a traffic light, according to The Washington Post.
Giles was treated at Howard University Hospital and released on Sunday. He was in the city for Howard University's Homecoming over the weekend and had just left H20, a Southwest D.C. nightclub.
According to the police report, a man in a burgundy SUV got out of his car at the traffic light beside Giles' 2006 Lamborghini and opened fire on the rapper without saying anything. Cameron was alone in the car, but an SUV filled with his friends was nearby.
The shooter returned to his vehicle and sped away, and police believe another man was also in the car. Following the shooting, Federal Protection Service officers who were in the area chased the SUV. The SUV crashed on U Street, but the men fired at the officers and escaped.
Giles' managers maintain that the motive for the shooting was a failed carjacking attempt, but Metro police have not ruled out other reasons, including an execution and road rage. Officials cite the proximity of witnesses and the lack of any attempt on the shooter's part to actually remove the rapper from the car or to take the vehicle.
No one has been arrested in connection with the shooting.
