The New York residence of a 50 Cent employee was reportedly pepper-sprayed with bullets yesterday (January 8)

According to The New York Post, unidentified men shot up Barja Walter’s house and Chevy SUV early Tuesday morning and also tossed a Molotov cocktail on his lawn.  A nearby home was also hit.

Walter, who lives with his three children and girlfriend in the Staten Island home, were unharmed.

Walter's definite association with 50 Cent was not revealed.  Neighbors told The Post that it wasn’t the first time that Walter had been the target of an attack.

“Last year, there were shots, but this time, there was gasoline - this one was worse,” Walter’s neighbor said.  “We shouldn't be afraid to live in our own homes.”

According to The New York Post, Walter, 32, has spent time behind bars in the past for robbery and weapons possession.

Walter's lawyer and representatives for 50 Cent did not return calls when reached.

This marks the second time a house of someone affiliated with 50 Cent has been targeted.

Last year, at house belonging to the mother of G-Unit member Tony Yayo was shot up.  No one was harmed.
