It has been two months since there was a shooting incident at Irving Plaza in New York City that involved Troy Ave. With contradicting reports that came out following the incident, it seems like the smoke has cleared and things are beginning to look more clear. The Brooklyn rapper pled not guilty and was not charged for murder, but the Manhattan jury indicted him of second-degree attempted murder and four counts of criminal possession of a weapon.
At this time, Troy Ave is taking an offensive approach and suing the venue (owned by Live Nation) for negligence in poor security measures that night. Ave’s lawyer appeared outside of Irving Plaza to announce the news earlier today.
“We made a decision that if not for their negligence, the incident would have never taken place. They let someone into the facility with a gun, did not pat them down and that’s where this person coming in, [Troy] would never have been shot.” – Scott Leemon
Ave is currently free on $500K bond.
