DaBaby's legal team says folks are wrong for jumping to conclusions over a recently surfaced video of the rapper shooting & killing a man at a Walmart ... they say it actually supports the rapper's defense.
Rolling Stone published surveillance footage Sunday from the 2018 fatal shooting in North Carolina & the article appeared to question DaBaby's self-defense narrative.
DaBaby's lawyers, Drew Findling & Marissa Goldberg, tell TMZ ... the video was reviewed by prosecutors back in 2018 & they concluded DaBaby acted in self-defense & therefore was not prosecuted for homicide.
We're told the video was even viewed by a Mecklenburg County judge in connection with a misdemeanor charge for not having the proper permits for his gun.
As for the self-defense part, DaBaby told cops the victim & another accomplice were following him around the Walmart store, & allegedly threatened him & flashed a gun ... causing him to feel the need to protect himself.
The rapper's attorney tells us, "Witnesses were interviewed & corroborated Mr. Kirk's statement. The entirety of the surveillance video was viewed & determined to corroborate Mr. Kirk's statement ... Mr. Kirk was protecting himself & his family at the time of the shooting."
