A$AP Rocky will face criminal assault charges in relation to the shooting of a former member of his posse the A$AP Mob. <\/p>\n

Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon announced the charges on Monday. <\/p>\n

Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, 33, is facing two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. <\/p>\n

The incident occurred on November 6, 2021, when his girlfriend, Rihanna, was four months pregnant. <\/p>\n

The Sundress singer was originally taken into custody in relation to the shooting at Los Angeles International airport in April 2022, a month before Ri-Ri gave birth. <\/p>\n

Rocky will be arraigned on August 17 in a courtroom in downtown Los Angeles. <\/p>\n

In a statement, Gascon’s office said: ‘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.’<\/p>\n

It continued: ‘My office conducted a thorough review of the evidence in this case and determined that the addition of a special firearm allegation was warranted.’ <\/p>\n

A$AP Relli, whose real name is Terell Ephron, claims the rapper shot him in the area of \u200b\u200bSelma and Argyle Avenues in Hollywood following an argument.<\/p>\n

His identity was first revealed earlier this month by Rolling Stone. <\/p>\n

Rocky is accused of approaching an Relli on the street around 10.15pm on November 6 and firing a handgun at him three or four times.<\/p>\n

One of the bullets reportedly grazed the Relli’s left hand and he later sought medical treatment. <\/p>\n

After the shooting Rocky and two other men, who had reportedly been walking with, fled the scene.<\/p>\n

Authorities collaborated with Relli and were ultimately able to name Mayers as a suspect in the shooting.<\/p>\n

The case is still being investigated by the LAPD’s Robbery Homicide Unit. <\/p>\n

Prior to his April arrest, a raid on Rocky’s home saw investigators recover several firearms. In April, Rocky was held on a suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon charge.<\/p>\n

The rapper was freed on a $550,000 bail. <\/p>\n

Earlier in August, Relli’s lawyers told TMZ that the aspiring rapper has been hit with death threats and been labeled a ‘snitch’ following the shooting.<\/p>\n

The attorneys said that Relli has been in therapy since the shooting. <\/p>\n

In a separate interview, his lawyers told Rolling Stone that Relli was taking Rocky to civil court accusing Mr. Rihanna of causing ‘irreparable harm to his career in the entertainment industry.’<\/p>\n

The legal team told the magazine: ‘After arriving at the location, a conversation ensued whereby without provocation, warning, or any justification, A$AP Rocky produced the handgun and intentionally fired multiple shots at Mr. Ephron.’ <\/p>\n

The announcement of the charges against Rocky comes on the same day that Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon survived a second recall attempted.<\/p>\n

In a region that has seen rising crime rates and brazen smash-and-grab robberies and home invasions, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascn was faulted for criminal justice reforms that critics said fueled lawlessness, which the top prosecutor disputed.<\/p>\n

The failed attempt comes after San Francisco voters in June recalled another prominent California criminal justice reformer, District Attorney Chesa Boudin.<\/p>\n

It was the second attempt to qualify a recall election that could remove Gasc\u00f3n, after an initial attempt failed last year.<\/p>\n

‘Los Angeles\u00b4 criminal justice reform movement has prevailed because this is a community that prefers facts over misplaced fear,’ Cristine Soto DeBerry, executive director of the Prosecutors Alliance that promotes reforms, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

In a tweet, Gasc\u00f3n wrote that he was ‘grateful to move forward from this attempted political power grab.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
