A$AP Rocky was formally charged in April after being arrested for allegedly shooting A$AP Relli.
The 33-year-old rapper has been charged with two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. If convicted, he could face up to nine years in prison, according to Rolling Stone.
On Monday, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced the allegations. “Discharging a gun in a public place is a serious offense that could have ended with tragic consequences not only for the person targeted but also for innocent bystanders visiting Hollywood,” Gascón said. “My office conducted a thorough review of the evidence in this case and determined that the addition of a special firearm allegation was warranted.“
Terell Ephron alias A$AP Relli, the claimed victim, filed a civil lawsuit against Rocky last week for the November 2021 shooting. The former A$AP Mob member said Rocky “My office conducted a thorough review of the evidence in this case and determined that the addition of a special firearm allegation was warranted.” one of which grazed his left hand.
Ephron, a talent manager, and producer, alleges he was physically, mentally, and emotionally harmed. He’s suing for at least $25,000 in damages.
Rocky, who delivered his first kid with Rihanna in May, was detained at LAX after returning from a trip to Barbados with his girlfriend in April. He was arrested and jailed on suspicion of assault with a dangerous weapon before being freed on $550,000 bail.
