On April 11, 2025, popular Twitch streamer and content creator Adin Ross was leading soccer tryouts for his newly formed team, Miami 7 FC, when disturbing sounds of gunfire were reported in the vicinity. FaZe Clan’s Nick “Lacy” was among the first to hear the shots, prompting a swift response from police, who deployed helicopters to the scene. As a precautionary measure, the tryouts were promptly halted, leading Ross to conclude his livestream while being escorted to safety by security personnel.
Online reports gained traction quickly, with X user @DramaAlert tweeting about a potential bomb threat as well. The tweet stated:
“Adin Ross’ soccer event SHUT DOWN by Miami PD after gunshots were heard nearby. There is also a rumor that a BOMB THREAT was called, not yet clear.”
After the initial chaos, Ross resumed his stream and confirmed the presence of gunshots in the area. Meanwhile, Lacy continued his own livestream alongside fellow FaZe content creator Marlon, though they quickly left the location.
The incident prompted a flood of reactions across various social media platforms. A segment of viewers accused the content creators of faking the gunshot scenario to gain views. One commenter expressed their disdain, noting:
“Yet another setup for views. What a sick world we allowed these fuckers to run around in,” X user @WJS1776 wrote.
“Is he engagement farming again?” @BPmetax questioned.
“Grinding those last impressions before payout! Send help!” X user @SurfEther commented.
Conversely, some users expressed their disappointment about the disruption of the event:
“People actually can’t enjoy good things anymore without ruining it,” X user @averageclipper commented.
“Let’s hope they find the person and arrest them,” @OpenPleb posted.
Concerns regarding the safety of all individuals involved were prevalent among fans. One user expressed relief, stating:
“Wow, that sounds intense at Adin’s event. Glad everyone is safe from the chaos,” @adivraza wrote.
