Steele St.” The publication added that “a car sped away. No injuries were reported. A weapon was recovered. A 53-year-old man was booked in a drive-by shooting.

In addition to the Sonics and Orlando Magic, Kemp played for the Cleveland Cavaliers and Portland Trailblazers during his 14-year career. In 2020, Kemp opened a cannabis store called Shawn Kemp’s Cannabis in the Belltown neighborhood of Seattle. Last month he also opened a second location in the city.
