LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles district attorney on Monday charged rapper A$AP Rocky with assault with a firearm in connection with a shooting in November in Hollywood.
"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," said District Attorney George Gascón in announcing the charges."My office conducted a thorough review of the evidence in this case and determined that the addition of a special firearm allegation was warranted.
Mayers was arrested April 20 after stepping off a private jet at Los Angeles International Airport on his way back from Barbados, authorities said. He had been vacationing on the Caribbean island with singer Rihanna, who recently gave birth to their first child.
