Around 11:00 p.m., the LAPD received a call from a residence in the 23000 block of Santa Susana Pass Road for shots fired.

As LAPD investigated the incident, homeowners stated they had four individuals walking through their property on video.

LAPD requested more units with rifles and suited up with helmets and extra body armor. Officers searched a vehicle that was seen close to the property, but police failed to locate any shooter.

Mase calls himself the "King of Baccarat" and is a popular fixture at Hustler Casino Live.

On Reddit, he's sometimes accused of "being a fraud".

One Redditor explained:

"It’s like when someone who is already worth $100M and then plays BJ betting $20K a hand. Sometimes you win and then brag you won hundreds of thousands but never talk about the millions you lose.

"So then regular people think they are a god. Reminds me of Dan Bilzerian gambling people acted like he was one of the goats.

"If you’re making $100K+ a month in income, in this case some people make $1M+ a month you can afford to go to a casino and bet $20K a hand lol. Then just film the parts of you winning.

"I can’t find a single video of Mikki playing baccarat and betting.. Yet he’s somehow top 3 best baccarat players ever??"
