Rapper ToryLanez charged in MeganTheeStallion shooting
Tory Lanez was charged Thursday in connection with the shooting involving Megan Thee Stallion, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
Born Daystar Peterson, the 22-year-old rapper was charged with one felony count each of assault with a semiautomatic firearm – personal use of a firearm – and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle. Peterson also faces a gun allegation and that he personally inflicted great bodily injury, according to authorities.
Those charges stem from a July 12 incident where Peterson and Megan Jovon Ruth Pete aka Megan Thee Stallion allegedly got into an argument while riding in an SUV in the Hollywood Hills. After she exited the car, Peterson is accused of shooting several times at her feet and wounding her, authorities say.
His arraignment is scheduled for Oct. 13. If convicted as charged, Peterson faces a possible maximum sentence of 22 years and eight months in state prison.
