Troy Ave Arrested for T.I. Concert Shooting After Video Shows Rapper Firing Gun

Rapper Troy Ave has been arrested for a shooting that wounded four people, including himself, at Irving Plaza in New York City before Wednesday’s T.I. concert.

On Thursday, NYPD released video footage from the venue that shows Troy Ave firing a gun inside the third-floor green room.

The 30-year-old artist is being charged with weapons possession and reckless endangerment, according to ABC7 New York

Troy Ave, whose birth name is Roland Collins, shot himself in the leg during a struggle at the club, said NYPD officials. A 34-year-old man was shot in the chest and taken to Bellevue Hospital to recover and a 26-year-old woman was shot in the leg and is in stable condition at Beth Israel Hospital.

Ronald (Edgar) McPhatter, 33, was shot in the stomach and was also taken to Beth Israel, but was pronounced dead at the hospital.

According to police, the gunman and the victims were given access to the VIP/green room area.

Detectives are waiting for ballistics evidence to come back to see if he’ll face additional charges. Police are unsure if there was more than one shooter.

Meanwhile, T.I. has spoken about the incident. “Rest In Peace Bro. God bless,” he tweeted on Thursday along with a message that read: “My heart is heavy today. Our music is intended to save lives, like it has mine and many others. My heartfelt condolences to the family that suffered the loss & my prayers are with all those injured. Respectfully, Tip.”

Artists Uncle Murda and Maino were also onstage at the time. Maino also wrote on social media Thursday writing, “Won’t let them undo what we’re building! No ‘ongoing beefs’ or ‘entourage issues.’ It always has been and always will be good relations between myself AND MY TEAM and @TroyAve @Hovain @YoungLitoBsB and the BSB crew. Our deepest sympathies again to family of Ronald McPhatter and a speedy recovery to Troy Ave. The movement will not be stopped. #BROOKLYNUNITED #HEARDYOU.”
