According to police reports obtained by NBC News, the shooting victim, who survived, told police that the rapper, while accompanied with two other people, allegedly “approached him with a handgun on the street.” The person added that Rocky “shot at him three to four times and believed one of the bullets grazed his left hand.”
Rocky’s attorney, Alan Jackson, confirmed to NBC News that his client had been arrested but offered no further comment.
Multiple law enforcement sources familiar with the matter told the outlet following the arrest that Rihanna was with Rocky when he was arrested and that a search warrant was executed at his home in Los Angeles.
The rapper spent less than three hours in a police jail before he was released after posting a $550,000 bond, according to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department booking report. The LAPD said the case would be presented to the district attorney’s office “for filing consideration.” The rapper’s court date is set for Aug. 17.
