A Los Angeles jury reached a verdict in ASAP Rocky’s assault trial stemming from a 2021 shooting incident in Hollywood
ASAP Rocky has been found not guilty in his assault trial stemming from a 2021 shooting incident.
A Los Angeles jury found the 36-year-old rapper (born Rakim Mayers) not guilty on Tuesday, February 18, after closing arguments were completed on Friday, February 14, according to CNN. Rocky had previously been charged with two felony counts of assault with an semiautomatic weapon.
Five witnesses testified for the prosecution over eight days about the case in which Rocky was accused of firing four or five shots at childhood friend ASAP Relli (born Terell Ephron) on a Hollywood street in 2021.
The accuser himself, an aspiring music manager, was on the stand for about three days’ worth of testimony, according to the Associated Press.
