Graphic video has surfaced that purportedly shows Lil Reese bleeding on the ground -- this after he was allegedly involved in a car jacking of some sort that ended in gunshots.
The footage of a man that appears to be Reese (and bleeding from his head profusely) is making the rounds online ... and it shows him being accused of stealing someone's car, and then being tracked down and beat up/shot over it. We aren't posting it here, but it's easy enough to find.
There's another man who appears in the video, who is also accused of partaking in the alleged car theft ... but he denies involvement in any such crime. The people in the video call Reese out by name as police and other first-responders attend to him and his injuries.
On the police side of things ... Chicago PD has yet to name the victims, but they do say that of the three people who were shot, two of them suffered superficial gunshot wounds -- a 20-year-old in the knee, and a 28-year-old grazed in the eye -- and are listed as being in fair to good condition. The third victim -- a 27-year-old -- was shot multiple times in the body and is said to be in critical condition. The cops tell us no one is in custody at this time, and that their detectives are further investigating the incident.
Like we said, Reese is 28 ... so he appears to be one of the two who's gonna make it.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown has been sued for his role in an altercation with a moving-truck driver in January 2020.
The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in Broward County, Florida, by the driver, Anton Tumanov. Brown pleaded no contest in June to one felony burglary with battery charge & two lesser misdemeanor charges related to the incident.
Tumanov is seeking more than $30,000 in damages, with the lawsuit saying he was "met with resistance & violence" along with a refusal to pay. The suit says Tumanov suffered severe bodily injuries & mental anguish in the incident.
According to court documents for the criminal case obtained by TMZ last year, Brown threw a rock at the driver's moving truck as part of a dispute over pay. Brown later forced his way into the driver's side of the main cabin of the truck and began to physically strike the driver after the disagreement escalated. Brown was then restrained by his associates.
Brown's lawyer at the time, Carson Hancock, said the wide receiver decided to resolve the criminal matter quickly rather than have it be a "protracted legal case."
Brown's trainer, Glenn Holt, was also named in the lawsuit, which said Holt also threatened & physically harmed Tumanov & damaged his vehicle.
The moving company, Amerimoving LLC, also sued Brown & Holt, in September, seeking damages of no more than $30,000 for trespassing & breach of contract. Multiple attempts to serve that lawsuit to Brown & Holt have been unsuccessful, according to court records.
San Diego police said they have launched an internal investigation after two of their officers were recorded on video repeatedly punching a man during an arrest this week.
The witness who recorded the incident Wednesday said she recognized the man being hit in the head and legs as a "harmless" neighborhood vagrant. She said she couldn't believe what happened after officers investigated the man, whom they accused of urinating in public.
"I see him around all the time. He's harmless. He's just homeless," the woman, Nicole Bansal, 34, of La Jolla, said Thursday. "He's very easy to recognize, because he always has a big orange life vest on."
A police spokesman, Lt. Shawn Takeuchi, said Thursday that the Internal Affairs Unit is investigating and reviewing body camera video of the incident, which began about 9 a.m. when officers on patrol "witnessed a man urinating in public." They then tried to speak to the man. Police declined to name the man or say whether he is homeless.
"The man would not stop to speak with officers therefore an officer held the man to detain him," Takeuchi said in a statement. "Despite the officers repeatedly telling the man to 'stop resisting,' the man would not comply. One of the officers struck the man several times."
The man was taken into custody and taken to a hospital, police said. Once he was released from the hospital, he was booked on charges of resisting arrest and battery of a police officer.
The officers have not been publicly identified.
Bansal said she saw two officers get out of a police cruiser and approach the man, who is Black. She said she grew uneasy, took out her cellphone and recorded the encounter for more than 4 minutes from her driver's seat.
"They did not try to de-escalate. ... If they had just approached the situation calmly and tried to de-escalate, we wouldn't be here," she said. "That man didn't go out to take those guys down. The cops went there with that intention to take him down ... and the resulting fight is what ensued."

The music industry promises fame and fortune but there is never a promise that these rewards will come without struggle. Almost every successful music artist who is now enjoying the rewards of achieving their dreams within the industry has stories to share about the lessons that they learned the hard way. Brox-born rap music artist King Fed is a self-made success, his break-out track ‘Well Okay’ climbed the top 40 charts on its release and he’s still riding high on the wave of his successes. But his triumphs within the music industry were hard-earned and fought for. Here he shares the lessons that the music industry taught him the hard way.
King Fed has always had a passion for lyrical creation, it’s a skill that he’s been cultivating since he first bstarted experimenting with poetry in middle school. He developed a talent for weaving words with music, combining them to create something evocative; his own unique sound, a sound that he felt passionate about. It was following this passion that taught him his first hard lesson. That lesson was that music is an art form but it is also a business. The music industry is built on multi-million -dollar contracts and millionaire-making label deals, and King Fed explains that he learned the hard way that having a passion for music isn’t enough to make it in the industry, you need to view yourself and your music as a precious commodity. The second lesson that King Fed says the music business taught him the hard way was that as an artist you need to fight for your place within the industry. No one is going to hand you the success you seek, you need to stand up and take it, he says that he learned early in his career that it was up to him to fight for what he wanted. The third lesson that King Fed shares came to him the hard way is that you need to use your pain to truly become a music artist. Calling on your raw personal experiences is he says, the only real way to become a true and authentic artist. No matter how painful it might be he discovered that to create music that reaches listeners and resonates with them, you have to be completely open and honest.
King Fed’s newest single ‘Burning Bridges’ comes amid what is undoubtedly the biggest period of growth in King Fed's career. His Spotify has been buzzing with new listeners from across the globe, especially from the United Kingdom. The New York rapper’s newest banger features UK artist Hated 28, and it's already getting rave reviews. King Fed's label 5th Dimensional Entertainment described ‘Burning Bridges’ as the perfect blend of New York and UK drill music.
We are told that 5th Dimensional Entertainment has hired an entirely new marketing staff and is focused on nothing but building up the young rapper's catalog, listening audience, and revenue stream. It's undeniable that this is the season for artists who have been hard at work long before they were locked away in our homes. This trying time calls for those artists to dig into their archives and release those gems they have had stashed away, and King Fed does not disappoint. Read more…
