ST. LOUIS – The tour van of a rapper who opened a concert at the Pageant Wednesday night came under fire on Highway 40 (Interstate 64) after the show, leaving four men with gunshot wounds.

Osiris Williams, 19, a Florida rapper and singer who goes by YK Osiris, was in town to open a sold-out Lil Baby concert at the Pageant. After the show, someone shot at the act’s white Sprinter van after it left the venue to go to a hotel, according to St. Louis police and social media posts from Williams. Four of the six men inside the van were injured by gunfire.

Police say the shooting happened about 11:05 p.m. Wednesday in an eastbound lane of the highway near the Jefferson Avenue exit. The shots came from a gray sedan that pulled alongside the van, but no suspects had been identified, according to police.

The driver drove the van to a hospital, where four men were treated for gunshot wounds to their limbs, police said. Their conditions were not available, but police said they were stable.

It was not clear if Williams was among those injured or if he was in the vehicle during the shooting, but he posted video of the van on social media early Thursday showing its sides riddled with bullet holes.

“I can’t believe I almost died,” he posted. “So glad I got a praying mother.”

A video of Williams’ song ”Valentine” has more than 19 million views on YouTube since it was published in March.
